        "summary": "Members of Indonesia's House Commission III have endorsed recommendations from the Polri Reform Acceleration Commission to keep the Indonesian National Police (Polri) directly under the President's authority, emphasising its role in preserving command effectiveness, institutional independence, and national security stability. The proposal also calls for clearer legal regulations on deploying Polri personnel outside the institution to avoid overlaps and controversies, with calls for urgent revisions to the Police Law. President Prabowo Subianto has agreed to these measures, rejecting any placement of Polri under a ministry, as a step towards more comprehensive police reforms aligned with democratic demands.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta, VIVA \u2013 Member of the House of Representatives Commission\nIII, Abdullah, supports the recommendations submitted by the Polri\nReform Acceleration Commission to President Prabowo Subianto.<\/p>\n<p>One of the contents of the recommendation is the affirmation of\nPolri\u2019s position to remain under the President. According to him, the\nrecommendation is very appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis recommendation is already correct. From the beginning, I have\nconsistently voiced that Polri must remain under the President, not\nplaced under a ministry. That position is important to maintain command\neffectiveness, institutional independence, and national security system\nstability,\u201d said Abdullah in his statement on Wednesday, 6 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Abdullah also highlighted the importance of stricter regulations\nregarding the assignment of Polri members outside the police\ninstitution, so as not to create polemics in society.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the placement of Polri personnel in various state\ninstitutions must have a clear legal basis to avoid overlapping\nauthorities and violations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe assignment of Polri members outside the institution must be\nregulated clearly, transparently, and accountably. Therefore, I agree\nthat revising the Police Law is an urgent need so that such regulations\nhave legal certainty,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>Abdullah hopes that the recommendations submitted by the Polri Reform\nAcceleration Commission can serve as strategic considerations for the\ngovernment and parliament in promoting more comprehensive, professional\nPolri reforms that meet democratic demands.<\/p>\n<p>Previously reported, President Prabowo Subianto agreed with several\nmatters recommended by the Polri Reform Acceleration Commission. One of\nthem concerns Polri\u2019s position remaining under the president.<\/p>\n<p>This was conveyed by Member of the Polri Reform Commission, Yusril\nIhza Mahendra, after reporting the results of their recommendations to\nPrabowo at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Tuesday, 5 May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reported the work results from the Polri Reform Acceleration\nCommittee to the President, and the President received the work results\nreport from the Committee well, and all that was conveyed has been\nagreed upon by the President regarding the aforementioned alternatives,\u201d\nsaid Yusril.<\/p>\n<p>Yusril emphasised that Polri\u2019s position has been jointly agreed with\nPresident Prabowo that it will not be under any ministry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegarding Polri\u2019s position, it remains as it is now. Polri is\ndirectly under the President and no Security Ministry or Police Ministry\nwill be formed, or placing the police under an existing ministry, but\nPolri remains directly under the President,\u201d he explained.<\/p>",
