Jokowi Has Party Intelligence Data, Gerindra: That's Ordinary

JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party calls the ownership of intelligence data related to the activities of political parties in Indonesia by President Joko Widodo a natural thing. In fact, the acquisition of reports or information is the right of a president as head of state. "I think it is the usual thing that a head of state gets any reports. Whether it is an economic report, a social development report, a political development, I think it is normal. In other countries, a president also gets a report from an intelligence agency," said Gerindra Party Election Winner Budisatrio Djiwandono on Monday, September 18. The chairman of the Investment and Capital Market Division of the Gerindra Party DPP admitted that he did not make this (as a problem). Why? because we believe President Jokowi is in accordance with his function and he must prioritize the best for this nation," Budi added.

President Jokowi's direct confession regarding the direction of political parties from various intelligence sources was conveyed on Saturday, September 16. Not only information from personal intelligence, he obtained similar reports from the National Police and the TNI. The former mayor of Solo revealed this in a national working meeting of volunteers supporting President Jokowi's leadership, or Jokowi's National Secretariat, at the Salak Hotel, Bogor, last Saturday. According to him, various information, such as numbers as survey data from intelligence, are entirely owned by the president.
