JAKARTA - The Chief of Naval Staff (KSAL) Admiral Yudo Margono, will undergo a fit and proper test as a candidate for TNI Commander in Chief at Commission I of the DPR today, Friday, December 2.

During the fit and proper test scheduled for 13.30 WIB, member of Commission I of the DPR from the Gerindra faction, Sugiono, admitted that he would explore the plans and programs that Yudo Margono would later explain.

"There are no special issues being investigated, but we will see his plans and programs when the fit and proper test is carried out," said Sugiono, Friday, December 2.

According to Sugiono, Yudo Margono is a professional TNI soldier. So, he said, President Jokowi would definitely consider carefully the appointment of Yudo as the sole candidate for TNI commander.

"He is a professional soldier. I am sure that when he sent a presidential decree to the DPR, he considered the soldiers with the best achievements in his ranks," said the Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party DPP Daily.

Regarding Yudo's short term of office in carrying out his duties as TNI Commander, Sugiono said it was not a problem. Even though he only served 11 months, he said, Yudo would definitely be able to understand his duty to safeguard state sovereignty, including securing elections, without caring about his tenure.

"The name is a soldier, the task of the TNI is to maintain state sovereignty. The task is to maintain security during elections, so if you want a year, two months or three months there is no problem," concluded Sugiono.
