JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Commission I, Tubagus Hasanuddin, admitted that his party had not received a letter regarding the new name of the TNI Commander to replace Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto.

If the President's Letter (Surpres) had been sent, Hasanuddin said, it would have been announced in the plenary meeting held today.

"Usually the incoming letters are read out in the report card, but this morning and we have just finished the report card, we have not received the information read out by the leadership of the DPR. This means that the letter has not yet reached the chairman of the DPR or the leadership of the DPR," said Hasanuddin at the DPR Building, Monday, November 1st.

The PDIP politician said that if the Surpres had been sent to the DPR, then Commission I would immediately conduct a fit and proper test for the candidate for the TNI Commander. Furthermore, the DPR's approval will be sent to President Jokowi.

"Later, if there is a presidential decree, of course, it will be sent to Commission I, and Commission I will carry out a fit and proper test. The results will be reported to the leadership of the DPR and the leadership will send a letter to the President," Hasanuddin explained.

He also ensured, the mechanism will be on time. Bearing in mind, Commander Hadi has just entered retirement at the end of November.

"For example, if the TNI Commander retires on December 1, it means that his inauguration is the last week. Now it's only the first week that there are still two weeks, I think that's enough," Hasanuddin said.
