Jakarta, CNN Indonesia – Indonesian Police Watch (IPW) observers, Neta S Pane, declare the appointment of the Inspector General Boy Rafli Loving as Head of the National Agency to Combat Terrorism (BNPT) maladministration and has intervened under the authority of the President Joko Widodo.
According to him, the appointment made by the head of the National Police with the telegram ST / 1378 / KEP / 2020 on Friday (1/5) should be revoked and canceled.
“The appointment of Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar as Head of BNPT by TR Kapolri is mismanagement. TR Kapolri regarding the appointment may be considered as an act beyond his authority and is intended tofait accompli and intervene in President Jokowi, “Neta said in his statement on Saturday (2/5).
He explained that the appointment of the Head of the BNPT was the authority of a president. In fact, according to him, the President has the authority to extend the mandate of the current Head of the BNPT, as was done when Ansaad Mbay was the Head of the BNPT.
He also questioned the steps of the national police chief, General Idham Azis, who was seen in a hurry to replace Komjen Suhardi Alius with Boy.
“Ansaad, who withdrew from the National Police, still serves as the Head of the BNPT. So why did the National Police intervene under the authority of the President and seemed to be in a hurry to eliminate Suhardi,” Neta said.
“What happens to the Chief of the National Police”, he added
He also said that the replacement of the BNPT Chief by the Chief of the National Police gave the impression that the BNPT was under the National Police and became a direct member of the National Police. In fact, he continued, BNPT is an institution in the president responsible to the president.
Neta also urged Idham to immediately cancel Boy’s appointment as Head of BNPT and ask Jokowi to extend Suhardi’s term as Head of BNPT.
According to him, there was no serious reason to replace Suhardi, except to withdraw from the National Police.
“During his time as Head of BNPT, Komjen Suhardi Alius had no problems, all BNPT programs ran smoothly, including the deradicalization program,” said Neta.
Yesterday, the Chief of the National Police, General Idham Azis, modified hundreds of high and medium-ranking police officers through the telegram of the Chief of the National Police with the number ST / 1378 / KEP / 2020, on Friday ( 1/5).
One of those who was transferred was Komjen Suhardi Alius, who was transferred as Chief Policy Analyst of the Criminal Investigation Police.
Instead, Inspector General Boy Rafli Amar, who served as Deputy Head of the Education and Training Center of the National Police, was named Head of BNPT.
CNNIndonesia.com has requested confirmation from the Chief of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Headquarters, Inspector General Mohammad Iqbal, and his successor candidate, Inspector General Pol. Raden Prabowo Argo Yuwono, related to the IPW statement. However, both have not responded to the confirmation request.
Based on the National Police telegram, Iqbal will occupy a new position, namely the Chief of Police for West Nusa Tenggara. (mts / ayp)
