JAKARTA - Candidate for the National Police Chief, Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo, has carried out a fit and proper test at Commission III of the DPR, Jakarta, Wednesday, January 20.

Before reading out the vision and mission, Komjen Listyo SIgit introduced the people who accompanied him. Among others, Deputy Chief of Police, Komjen Gatot Eddy.

"In the fit and proper test we were accompanied by the Deputy Chief of Police (Komjen Gatot Eddy), the Head of National Police, Kalemdiklat, Kapolda Aceh, Kapolda North Sulawesi," said Sigit at Commission III of the DPR.

According to Komjen Sigit, they all represent several forces in the Police. Their presence proves that the internal police are solid.

"Those who were present to accompany us were the ranks of seniors 87, 88, 89, 90. We ourselves are 91 and our brothers. We convey that the National Police is currently solid," said Komjen Listyo Sigit.

Meanwhile, Komjen Sigit is the only candidate for National Police Chief proposed by President Joko Widodo to the DPR to replace General Idham Azis who is entering retirement. Today, Komjen Sigit conveyed his Vision and Mission as a candidate for National Police Chief.

Previously, the head of the National Police Commission (Kompolnas) Benny Mamoto said there was nothing wrong with the appointment of Komjen Listyo Sigit Prabowo as the sole candidate for the National Police Chief.

This was conveyed in response to a public polemic if the Criminal Investigation Agency had overtaken his seniors in the Bhayangkara Corps.

According to him, an incident like this had happened when President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) also proposed the name Tito Karnavian as the Chief of Police.

"If we learn from Mr. Tito's experience first, there is no problem. Show him his achievements, performance, abilities, and everyone accepts," said Benny after a hearing with Commission III of the Indonesian Parliament at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Central Jakarta, Monday, 18 Janurai .

Benny said that Listyo's appointment as the sole candidate to replace Idham Azis must have been carefully considered. One of them is considering Listyo's retirement, which will still happen in the next few years.
