The fit and proper test for the candidate for the Head of the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Lt. Gen. TNI (Ret.) Muhammad Herindra has been completed. Herindra was declared worthy.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Puan Maharani, directly led the fit and proper test with a team that had been formed for the replacement process of the Head of BIN.

Fit and proper test against Herindra was held in the Meeting Room of Commission I, Nusantara II Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, October 16. Herindra arrived at the DPR Building at around 11.00 WIB.

The due diligence for the candidate for Head of BIN (KABIN) was held behind closed doors. Also present at the fit and proper test were Deputy Speaker of the DPR Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, Saan Mustopa, Adies Kadir, to Cucun Ahmad Syamsurijal.

"Closed, later after that," said Puan when asked for information by the media crew.

The feasibility test for candidates for the Head of BIN is usually carried out by Commission I of the DPR in charge of defense, intelligence, and foreign affairs. However, because the council (AKD) equipment has not been officially formed, the fit and proper rest for Herindra is carried out by a team formed by the DPR at a plenary meeting, Tuesday (15/10), consisting of the leadership of the DPR and representatives of 8 factions in the DPR.

The fit and proper test for Herindra was carried out within one hour.

"We, the leadership of the DPR together with the representative team of all factions in the DPR, are considering, or fit and proper regarding the candidate for Head of BIN on behalf of Mr. Muhammad Herindra," explained Puan after leading the fit and proper test for the candidate for Head of BIN.

According to the former Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, the consideration team for the change of candidates for the Head of BIN KaBIN agreed to state that Herindra met the requirements. Puan emphasized that Herindra passed the feasibility test as a candidate for KaBIN and would be sworn in by Prabowo Subianto after the Gerindra chairman officially became president.

"The results of the consideration team stated that Mr. Muhammad Herindra as the only candidate for the Head of BIN were declared that we would accept it so that it could be inaugurated in due course by the next president, namely President Prabowo Subianto," said Bung Karno's grandson.

The results of this fit and proper test will be brought to the Plenary Meeting on Thursday (17/10), to be used as a joint decision by the DPR. After that, the DPR leadership will send the results of considerations regarding the replacement of the KaBIN to the Government.

When asked whether Herindra would be sworn in at the same time as Cabinet ministers Prabowo later, Puan stated that this was the government's authority because the DPR was only in charge of giving considerations. Prabowo himself will be sworn in as President on October 20.

"After this the leadership of the DPR will send a letter to the Government that the inauguration will be when, we will hand it over to the Government," said Puan.

Puan then asked Herindra to provide information to the media crew. The former Danjen Kopassus only spoke briefly.

"We must collaborate from all stakeholders, basically we must maintain the integrity of the Indonesian state," said Herindra.
