Member of Commission I of the DPR TB Hasanuddin highlighted the attitude of the Head of the Strategic Intelligence Agency (Kabais) who chose to resign amid the controversy over the watering of hard water against Kontras activists. He emphasized that the resignation should not stop the ongoing law enforcement process.

The member of the defense commission asked that the investigation into the case be continued thoroughly and transparently. And the mastermind of the waterboarding of the human rights activist was revealed to the public.

"The investigation must continue to be revealed, not only the perpetrators in the field, but also who are the actors who designed or were behind the event," TB Hasanuddin told reporters, Thursday, March 26.

"This is important so that it does not raise questions and disappointment among the public," continued the PDIP legislator.

However, TB Hasanuddin assessed that the KBAIS' resignation reflected a moral responsibility that should be respected. According to him, this attitude can be an example for all in showing accountability and integrity in carrying out their duties.

"We have respect and respect for the greatness of the KBAIS heart. When subordinates commit violations, their superiors show a high moral responsibility by resigning. This is something we should appreciate," he said.

"This is a good example and hopefully we can all follow it," continued the retired TNI.

TB Hasanuddin emphasized the importance of the DPR's role in carrying out oversight, including through the oversight function of state intelligence performance. Commission I of the DPR, he said, will monitor every development of this case.

"The DPR has a supervisory role, including through a team or intelligence oversight mechanism that must work diligently to ensure that this case is open and clear to the public," he said.

Previously, the Head of the Strategic Intelligence Agency (BAIS) TNI, Lieutenant General Yudi Abrimantyo, officially resigned from his position as a form of accountability for the actions of BAIS personnel who sprayed hard water on activist of the Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (KontraS), Andrie Yunus.

"As a responsibility, today the handover of the position of Ka BAIS has been carried out," said Aulia in a press conference at the TNI Headquarters, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 25.
