JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR Ahmad Sahroni supports the Polda Metro Jaya to form a special task force (satgasus) to eradicate cases of buying and selling illegal firearms (senpi), both assembled and manufacturers. "Of course, we support the establishment of an illegal firearms eradication task force by the Metro Police Chief, because these firearms smugglers have started openly, they even dare to sell online (online, red)," said Sahroni in a written statement, Thursday, August 24, which was confiscated by Antara. However, he requested that the task force to eradicate illegal firearms not only take action against sellers, but also investigate its supplier network.

"So this really has to be put in order, starting from suppliers, mediators, sellers, buyers, arresting all. This is clearly a serious crime and endangers the community," he said.

Sahroni also asked the task force to eradicate illegal firearms not to hesitate to take firm action against individuals from an agency suspected of being involved. "It is possible that in the middle of the investigation later, the task force will find the agency members involved. If that happens, whatever the role of these individuals, I ask the task force to take firm and fast action. There should be no conflicts of interest there, there is no business," he said.

He also hopes that the task force will really show maximum performance in its formation, so it is not just a formality to respond to cases that have occurred recently. "Because if there is no significant progress, it is still slow, there is still difficulty accessing information, prevention is still lacking, why was it formed? This task force is here to unite all the resources owned by the Police to investigate illegal firearms," said Sahroni.
