JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo explained the reason he submitted the dismissal of the Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Budi Gunawan to the Indonesian Parliament.
"Oh, that's just administration," said Jokowi on the sidelines of a working visit in North Sumatra, according to a voice recording received in Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, October 16.
He explained that this had been discussed with Prabowo Subianto as the Elected President, where Prabowo Subianto wanted to inaugurate the new Head of BIN together with the cabinet minister on October 21, 2024. Therefore, the Presidential Letter regarding the replacement of the Head of BIN was sent to the DPR RI.
"And we have also spoken with Pak Prabowo. That was at Pak Prabowo's request," said Jokowi.
Previously, the Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, said that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) proposed Lt. Gen. TNI (Ret.) Muhammad Herindra as a candidate for the Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) to replace Police General (Ret.) Budi Gunawan.
"So a name has been proposed from President Jokowi. The Presidential Surpres (Presidential Letter) has changed the Head of BIN on behalf of Mr. Herindra," said Puan during a press conference at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday (15/10).
