JAKARTA - MPR Chairman Ahmad Muzani responded to the revision of Law Number 34 of 2004 concerning the Indonesian National Army (UU TNI) which is in the spotlight, because it is considered that it will revive ABRI's dyafunction.
Muzani said active soldiers may take on a role in politics if they get approval from the president.
"If the president agrees, I don't think there is a problem, the important thing is then the president gives approval and the person concerned retires from his position or position from the active military," said Muzani, Monday, March 17.
He also considered that the TNI Bill did not lead to ABRI's duality. "I don't think there are some limits," he said.
According to him, the TNI Law which was promulgated 20 years ago really needs to be adapted to the times. In addition, to strengthen the TNI.
"From that point of view, I think strengthening the position of the TNI needs to be emphasized, and I think the TNI Law has been revised for the last 25 years, so adjustments to the situation after being revised for decades, especially the TNI, a very important force, very vital for the country, I think there needs to be adjustments to the position of the institution," said Muzani.
Nevertheless, Muzani reminded that the discussion of the TNI Bill must be rigid so that civilians do not feel disturbed.
"Yes, it must be rigid," he concluded.
