JAKARTA - Army Chief of Staff, General TNI Andika Perkasa, emphasized that TNI personnel involved in the misuse of the Infantry NCO (Dikjurbaif) and Infantry Tamtama Vocational Education (Dikjurtaif) Batch II 2020 budgets were given strict sanctions.

"All individuals from Rindam and Dodiklatpur who are involved in the misuse of the Dikjurbaif and Dikjurtaif budgets will be rewarded according to the rules applied by the Army", said Kasad General TNI Andika Perkasa via the TNI AD YouTube channel in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Thursday, August 5.

The findings of the misuse of the budget were reported directly by the Army Monitoring and Evaluation Team to the General TNI after finding irregularities in the use of the Dikjurbaif and Dikjurtaif budgets.

These findings are found in every Training and Combat Education Depot (Dodiklatpur) in all regiments of the main military command (Rindam).

The reported findings include cuts in student salaries that are used for personal gain, cuts in the food budget, additional budgets that are deliberately held for personal purposes, and so on.

"All money absolutely must be returned by transfer and proof of transfer must be provided", said General Andika Perkasa.

He also instructs that all account numbers and places where soldiers carry out education are recorded so that the refund report becomes valid.

"I think all commanders know that the military discipline law is minimally reprimanded with administrative consequences, all Kodams rotate. If they don't return the money, they will be immediately criminalized", said General Andika Perkasa.
