JAKARTA - The daily chairman of the Gerindra Party DPP, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, believes that President Joko Widodo will not misuse intelligence data to interfere with party sovereignty. Dasco said this in response to President Jokowi's confession that he had intelligence data towards the coalition of political parties (political parties). "I believe and believe that it will not be misused by the president," said Dasco at the DPR building, Monday, September 18.

The deputy chairman of the DPR explained that as president Jokowi has the right to receive important information and data to get input. Moreover, Jokowi is also a user of all intelligence agencies to obtain information related to the state.

"The intelligence data is not only about politics, but various things of the cultural economy and what is needed by a president in various considerations. One of them is making decisions," said Dasco. Therefore, Dasco believes, the data will only be used for certain purposes only. For example, decision making in managing the government.

"I think the president places himself as a statesman, so I believe and believe that the intelligence data in the intelligence held by the president as head of state. Of course, it is only used in terms of making strategic decisions in managing the government, not for others," said Dasco. Dasco assessed that the matter does not need to be made a fuss anymore. Because according to him, intelligence data regarding the direction of the political parties held by the president, only one of the many other intelligence data.

"He has a lot of intelligence data. So if he says that he has intelligence data, for example, about political parties, about political figures, that's true. And it doesn't hurt in my opinion," he concluded.
