TNI Commander Asked To Withdraw Puspom Members From The AGO

TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto was asked to withdraw members of the Military Police Center (Puspom) who assisted with security within the Attorney General's Office (AGO). This is because the placement of these soldiers is not in accordance with the rules.

"The TNI commander needs to withdraw its members at the AGO because it is not in accordance with the TNI Law. The President can order the TNI commander to withdraw his troops at the Attorney General's Office because it is not in accordance with the TNI Law," said Head of the Centra Initiative, Al Araf, to reporters quoted on Wednesday, May 29.

The placement of TNI soldiers at the AGO is considered not in accordance with Law Number 34 of 2004 concerning the TNI.

According to him, the deployment of the military in the task of military operations other than war can only be carried out if there is a decision by the President as referred to in Article 7 paragraph (3) of the TNI Law.

"In that context, the duties of guarding the AGO by POM TNI without a presidential decision are clearly violating the TNI Law. Even though there is an MoU between the TNI and the AGO, the MoU is wrong and wrong," he said.

In addition, it is reported that if there is a problem with other state institutions, the AGO should report it to the President not by involving the military and the TNI Puspom. So, it can be resolved.

"This will not solve the problem but will add to the new problem and the conflict will never end," said Araf.

Previously, the TNI through the Head of the Indonesian Armed Forces Information Center (Kapuspen) Maj. Gen. Nugraha Gumilar had explained that security assistance was carried out long before the issue of stalking Jampidsus Febrie Ardiansyah emerged.

The TNI and AGO are said to have had a cooperation agreement regarding this matter in 2023.

"Regarding the security of the AGO by the TNI Pom carried out on the basis that the AGO and the TNI had signed the MoU with No. 4 of 2023 and No. NK/6/IV/2023/TNI dated April 6, 2023 The MoU Scope Room in the Articles included the Assignment of TNI Soldiers within the Prosecutor's Office (such as JAM Pidmil) and support for TNI personnel assistance in carrying out the duties & functions of the prosecutor's office," said Gumilar.

For information, the Instagram social media account @Puspomtni uploaded a photo guard document at the Indonesian Attorney General's Office, South Jakarta. In fact, in his statement, he explained that the activity was in the aftermath of allegations of stalking Jampidsus by members of Densus 88.

"The Attorney General's Office of the Republic of Indonesia has experienced increased supervision after an alleged stalking of Jampidsus by members of Densus 88," he wrote as seen, Sunday, May 26 morning.
