JAKARTA - Listyo Sigit Prabowo is scheduled to make a presentation on his work program and policies if he becomes the National Police Chief today, Wednesday, January 20. This has become a form of fit and proper test that must be passed by a candidate for the Chief of Police.

Reported by VOI from Antara, Member of Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament Arsul Sani explained that the feasibility test would be carried out by strictly implementing the COVID-19 health protocol (prokes). DPR Commission III will even limit physical presence in the meeting room.

"Because this is still the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also set a health protocol. Each faction is represented physically by two people, the rest follows virtually," he said, Tuesday, January 19.

Later, the restriction will also apply to the staff of the National Police chief candidate. The maximum number of staff attendance is only 9 people. According to Arsul, that number is still within the limit of the meeting in the COVID-19 program.

Usually, Commission III of the DPR will directly listen to the opinion of the faction after the due diligence is held. They will determine whether the figure of the National Police Chief candidate proposed by President Jokowi is appropriate or not.

"We will see later, whether it is directly followed up with the views of the factions. For example, if their view is accepting it will be immediately forwarded to the DPR Leadership to be scheduled in the DPR Plenary Meeting," he said again.

Arsul also said that attendance restrictions also apply to journalists who will cover. He suggested that the fit and proper test should be carried out through live broadcasts from Parliament TV.

For information, Listyo Sigit Prabowo had previously compiled the material to be presented. Listyo and his team of experts have also submitted material in the form of a paper to the DPR. The paper contained policies or work programs that Listyo would carry out if he served as National Police Chief.
