TNI Commander Andika Makes Strict Rules, Disciplinary Sentences For Naughty Soldiers Handled By Military Police

JAKARTA - TNI Commander General Andika Perkasa has a new rule for rogue soldiers. All soldiers who were detained for violations of discipline, are no longer under the authority of the unit.

This change must be taken so that it can have a serious deterrent effect for soldiers who violate it. The commander is worried that if the detention is carried out in the Army, Navy or Air Force, there will be an impression that it is not serious.

"Because in that unit there are many memories, so it doesn't seem serious and in the end it doesn't have a deterrent effect. This is indeed a disciplinary punishment, but live it so that he feels it," said Andika, quoted from her YouTube channel, Tuesday, March 8.

This emphasis was conveyed in a routine meeting with the Central Military Police Commander of the TNI from the three dimensions as well as the TNI Legal Team some time ago.

The four-star general explained that the change includes both soldiers who are subject to light and heavy penalties.

"So as long as everything is known, disciplinary punishment is no longer in the unit. So the disciplinary punishment, whether 14 or 21 days in the Military Police, light or heavy in the Military Police," said Andika.
