KUPANG - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Human Rights (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD stated that the case of a criminal act of trafficking in persons (TPPO) that occurred in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has entered the emergency category.
"It is very urgent, because from the reports received starting from 2020, 2021 to 2022 there are around 1,900 bodies returning to Indonesia and the most are NTT," he said in Maumere, Sikka Regency, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 31.
The arrival of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs to NTT itself is part of his working visit as well as planned to lead the ceremony to commemorate the Birthday of Pancasila on June 1, 2023 in Ende Regency tomorrow.
Mahfud said he was appointed by President Joko Widodo to form a special operations task force for the Crime of Trafficking in Persons (TPPO).
President Joko Widodo said he handled the TIP case in the short and medium term. In the short term, he said, in June, it must be clear that the mapping and stages as well as the steps to be taken are related to TTPO actors.
"Later at the end of June, the President will summon the ministers concerned to discuss further steps to handle TIP," he said.

Meanwhile, in the long term, he said, the President would update the President's regulation regarding the TIP task force itself. Where added he will have a change in structure and the National Police Chief will become the daily chairman of the TIP task force. Mahfud said the TIP already has a syndicate.
"Of course this is a syndicate. Later we will see and we will fix it," he said.
Dalam pertemuan dengan sejumlah kepala negara dalam KTT ASEAN beberapa waktu lalu, Indonesia sendiri ujar dia meminta kepada semua negara anggota untuk bekerja sama yang lebih ketat memberantas TIP itu karena levelnya dua.
