Bright spot of the FPI Laskar case

Komnas HAM, Choirul Anam, said that the investigation into the death case of 6 Laksar FPI members is being clarified. “What is certain is that the facts make it clear, the riddles are more visible,” Anam told Tempo on Sunday, December 20, 2020.

Anam said the facts were clarified after several investigations were carried out. For example, requesting information from the doctor who performed the autopsy on the bodies of 6 members of the FPI Laskar to verify the CCTV at KM 50 Tol Cikampek, which was the site of the series of incidents.

The plan, Anam said, was that the collected facts would be tested to determine the appropriateness and inconsistency of one fact with another. So that it can be classified and tested with expert opinions. Experts will be called in next week.

“Experts who are related to the necessary factual issues and experts who can explain what is contained in the evidence object are scientifically so,” he said.

Jokowi cabinet reshuffle

A political observer from Al Azhar University, Ujang Komarudin, assesses that the chances of President Joko Widodo or Jokowi electing professionals to fill vacant ministerial positions are very small. Currently, the two ministerial posts that are not being filled are the Minister of Social Affairs and the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries.

“The opportunity for a minister to become a professional remains. However, it is very small. The probability is very small,” Ujang said when contacted by Tempo on Sunday, December 20, 2020.
