Johnny emphasized that the NasDem Party already has internal regulations regarding its cadres who are involved in legal cases. Namely, resigning from all positions and quitting the NasDem members.

"By still referring to the presumption of innocence which is the right of every citizen, the NasDem Party already has strict and strict standard procedures related to OTT or law enforcement actions against NasDem cadres and politicians who are in trouble. For example, immediately submitting resignations as members and quit all party positions", explained Johnny.

"And the policy is implemented consistently, the cadres know it well", added the Minister of Communication and Information.
