JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo emphasized that the National Police respected the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK) and ensured that the internal policy that was drafted was not in conflict with the decision. The National Police, he said, chose the consultative path before issuing the National Police Regulation (Perpol).
English:
"The National Police will follow up on the Constitutional Court's decision by consulting with relevant ministries and stakeholders before issuing the regulation," Sigit said at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Monday, December 15.
English:
He emphasized that the Perpol that was drafted was actually an instrument to respect and follow up on the Constitutional Court's decision. In the future, the rules will even be upgraded.
English:
"This perpol will be upgraded to a government regulation (PP) and possibly included in the revision of the law," said Sigit.
English:
Regarding the question of whether members of the National Police who are serving outside of 17 ministries/institutions (K/L) will be withdrawn, Sigit emphasized that the policy does not apply backwards. The process that has been running still refers to the previous rules.
English:
"What has been processed does not apply to regression. The Minister of Law has explained this," he said.
English:
Answering the allegation that the National Police was against the Constitutional Court's decision, Sigit dismissed the accusation. He emphasized that all steps of the National Police had been thoroughly consulted before the Perpol was drafted.
English:
"Let's just say that. The police's steps have been consulted with the ministry, stakeholders, and related institutions," he said.
English:
Sigit also explained that the Constitutional Court's decision explicitly removed the assignment clause by the National Police Chief. Therefore, derivative rules need to be clarified in a limited manner so as not to give rise to double interpretations.
English:
"What is deleted is clear, the phrase related to the assignment by the National Police Chief. That is, the limits must then be clarified," he concluded.
English:
When asked about Mahfud MD's views, Sigit chose to be brief. "Ask Mr. Mahfud," he said.
