JAKARTA - West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil talks about the potential to remove the position of regional head if there is a violation of the health protocol (prokes). Ridwan Kamil said that removal could have been done as long as he prioritized the principle of justice.
"All of these positions have risks. But they must be based on fairness," Ridwan Kamil told reporters, Friday, November 20.
However, the man who is called Kang Emil said that the removal of a regional head could be done if he made a personal mistake. However, the problem that occurred in Megamendung, Bogor, is considered not entirely his fault.
"Usually the dismissal of a regional head if he commits a personal act is despicable, right? But if the dynamics comes from the community, then the logic is being treated," he explained.
Kang Emil confirmed that he would follow all existing procedures. This is because there are regulations regarding dismissal.
"I think we leave the affairs in this republic to the laws and regulations," he said.
Previously, Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Tito Karnavian issued instruction Number 6 of 2020 concerning Enforcement of Health Protocols to Control the Spread of Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19).
In the instruction, Tito asked all regional heads to consistently implement health protocols in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
"In connection with several areas where there have been large crowds recently and seemingly unable to handle it, today I will issue an instruction from the Minister of Home Affairs on enforcement of health services. Here follow up on the President's directive last Monday to confirm consistency of compliance with COVID-19 and prioritize the safety of the people. "said Tito, Wednesday, November 18.
The instructions issued, said Tito, were intended for all regional heads. In fact, those who violate can be subject to removal from office.
"I tell the governors, regents and mayors to heed this instruction because there is a risk according to the law. If the law is violated, dismissals can be made. I will share this, today I will sign it and I will convey it to all regions," said Tito. .
