JAKARTA - The decision of the Head of the Strategic Intelligence Agency (Kabais) TNI, Lieutenant General Yudi Abrimantyo to resign from his position has garnered public attention.
This step is considered an important signal regarding the standards of integrity and responsibility of public officials amid increasing scrutiny of the governance of state institutions.
The General Chair of Pasbata Prabowo David Febrian assessed the decision as a form of moral courage that is rarely found among high-ranking officials.
"This is not just a resignation from a position, but a knightly attitude. This is a lesson for officials who, when faced with a problem, instead look for justification or blame others," he said.
According to him, the steps of Lieutenant General Yudi show that responsibility to the public can be placed above the interests of the post or the legal process that is still running.
He assessed that the practice of maintaining a position even though they were facing legal problems had often triggered a decline in public confidence in institutions.
"It's up to the legal process to prove right or wrong. However, the responsibility to the public cannot be delayed," he said.
Furthermore, he assessed that this attitude was an example of leadership that placed integrity as the main priority, especially in the midst of increasing demands for transparency and accountability.
However, he reminded that the resignation should not obscure the substance of the issue being processed.
"Resignation is not the end of the process. The legal process must still run and needs to be escorted together," he said.
Pasbata Prabowo also expressed support for the steps of the Military Police Center (Puspom) of the TNI which were considered responsive in handling the issue.
He assessed that this step shows the institution's commitment to maintaining credibility and accountability.
"This shows that there is no room for compromise on violations and is part of transparency in the era of democracy," he said.
