Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the\nIndonesian House of Representatives, Moh. Rano Alfath, has stated that\nthe Indonesian National Police\u2019s decision to dismiss Bripda MS, who is\nsuspected of child abuse, is clear evidence of the police force\u2019s\ncommitment to upholding institutional integrity.<\/p>\n
He believes that the police\u2019s firm stance against members who violate\nregulations is a crucial indicator in measuring the credibility of the\ninstitution as a law enforcement agency in the eyes of the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis firmness is important to show the public that the police do not\ntolerate acts of violence, especially those that result in the loss of\nlife, particularly that of a child,\u201d he said in a statement in Jakarta\non Tuesday.<\/p>\n
However, the legislator from the commission that oversees legal\nmatters strongly condemned the perpetrator\u2019s actions, which he said had\nviolated humanitarian values.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that the authority granted by the state to members of\nthe Indonesian National Police should be used to protect citizens, not\nas a tool for violence.<\/p>\n
Therefore, he welcomed the involvement of the Special Case Team of\nthe National Police\u2019s Internal Affairs Division, as well as assistance\nfrom the Professional and Internal Security Division of the National\nPolice Headquarters, in overseeing this case.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not easy for an institution to take firm action against its\nown members, but it is in this that the integrity of the institution is\ntested. We appreciate the multi-layered oversight mechanism that has\nbeen established to ensure that the process is accountable,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He also reminded that ethical sanctions in the form of dismissal are\nnot the end of the matter. He urged that the criminal legal process\nagainst Bripda MS continue to completion in court to provide true\njustice for the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe dismissal is an administrative consequence, but criminal\naccountability must still be pursued. There must be no impunity in cases\nthat result in the loss of life. Whoever the perpetrator, they must be\nheld accountable for their actions before the law in a transparent\nmanner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives, he said,\nis committed to continuing to oversee the handling of this case until it\nhas legal force.<\/p>\n
He assured that the parliamentary oversight function will continue to\nensure that the victim\u2019s family receives maximum protection without any\ninterference from any party.<\/p>\n
\u201cPublic trust is the primary asset that must be maintained through\nfirmness, transparency, and consistency in law enforcement,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n
