JAKARTA - Inspector General Listyo Sigit Prabowo was appointed Kabareskrim after being vacant because Idham Aziz was left behind. The shift in position was contained in the Telegram Letter Number: ST / 3229 / XII / KEP / 2019 dated December 6, 2019.

Monday, December 16, Listyo was officially appointed at the Criminal Investigation Unit as one of the top officials in the Police. After being inaugurated, he has a lot of homework to do, one of which is completing the Novel Baswedan watering case.

"Of course, finishing our homework, which is certainly awaited by all of our colleagues, then from the technical team related to the Novel Baswedan problem, we will immediately consolidate it. We will try to disclose it as soon as possible," said Listyo in Jakarta, Monday, December 16.

Apart from solving the Novel Baswedan case, it was also said that there were several things that became the focus of attention, namely escorting government programs. What we know is that in the near future a democratic party will be held, namely the 2020 Regional Head Election (Pilkada).

"Of course there are several tasks that we have to carry out, related to the challenges we have to face, several tasks in the next few years. Then we will also carry out the policy monitoring programs from the government," said Listyo.

Meanwhile, on a previous occasion, President Jokowi had also summoned General Idham Aziz who was the National Police Chief to present the results of the investigation. Monday, December 9, Jokowi and Idham Aziz held a meeting at the Presidential Palace.

In that presentation, it was said that there was progress. However, there was no explanation regarding the progress in question. The day after the meeting, Jokowi made a statement. It was said that the Police were again given time to immediately unveil the case.

The number of days is called the time for the National Police to thoroughly investigate the case and immediately convey it to the wider community.

"The police chief answered that there are new findings that have reached a conclusion. Therefore, I will not give you any more time. I will tell you who (the perpetrators) will be announced as soon as possible," said Jokowi at Hotel Mulia, Jakarta, Tuesday, December 10.

To note, the hard water sprinkling case experienced by KPK senior investigator Novel Baswedan has not been revealed. The case, which began on April 11, 2017, has not found a bright spot for about two years. Various efforts were made, starting from the formation of a team of investigators to a grace period that was continuously extended.

However, similar results or no progress have been repeated over and over. Until finally, early December 2019, Jokowi ordered the Police to thoroughly investigate the case in a matter of days.
