JAKARTA - Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian assessed that the documentary Dirty Vote did not take two scientific methods to produce a conclusion so that it was considered only limited to the formation of opinions.

According to him, the two scientific methods are congruent methods and tracing methods. Tito Karnavian's name was mentioned in the documentary when discussing the new province in Papua.

"I see this news in the form of a documentary, but actually I see it is the formation of opinions by assembling a number of events," Tito said during the National Mass Media Convention in the context of National Press Day in Jakarta as reported by ANTARA, Monday, February 19.

He explained that the congruent method is a method of trying to see something and draw conclusions because it is considered the same and the same. According to him, the method was taken regardless of cause and effect.

"That's okay, if we want to take the hypothesis. It's the same as the media, when it makes the hypothesis possible. But if you want to make writing that is really accurate, you have to go through a tracing process," he said.

The former National Police Chief said police officers were used to implementing these methods as a way of thinking in the investigation process if there were events.

He said the congruent method could not be used as a definite reason without a tracking process. According to him, the tracking process must also be carried out by exploring all causes and consequences if you want to determine the perpetrator or suspect.

Therefore, according to him, the accusations related to his name, which are said to have played a role in winning certain candidate pairs (paslons) due to the expansion of the province on the island of Papua, are still limited to being congruent without going through the tracking process.

Tito explained that the expansion of the province on the island of Papua was carried out before the coalition of parties and pairs of candidates for elections. According to him, the expansion of the province in Papua is not a government initiative, but from the DPR and the aspirations of the people.

"But suddenly it was jumped that the expansion of Papua was in order to facilitate the candidate pairs prepared by the government to meet the requirements of 20 percent (noise) from half the province, I said it was too far away," he said.
