The Palace emphasized that Bintang Mahaputera’s gift to former TNI commander Gatot Nurmantyo was not a way to silence Gatot, who spoke about the government. The title is awarded on a constitutional basis.
“It was said that Pak Gatot was handed over as an attempt to silence him, no. Mr. Gatot is in the same position as me. I was given the star when I retired (as TNI Commander, red) and Mr. Gatot received the star of the head of state. Accepted. “Presidential Chief of Staff Moeldoko said at the Bina Graha building, Jalan Veteran, Central Jakarta, on Thursday (11/12/2020).
“It has nothing to do with the services rendered by the president as head of state, it has nothing to do with efforts to silence him, it has nothing to do with questionability or independence, it has nothing to do with remodeling or not, “he continued.
Moeldoko ensured that his subordinate at TNI received the Mahaputera Star from President Jokowi even though he was not physically present.
“That (Gatot) cannot come is the second issue. The point is that Pak Gatot accepts it from the president. Once again, (this) executes the constitution as president,” he explained.
