        "summary": "A member of the Indonesian House of Representatives' Commission III, Soedeson Tandra, has criticised a recommendation from the Police Reform Acceleration Commission (KPRP) to limit the term of the National Police Chief (Kapolri), calling it biased and an interference in the President's prerogatives. He argued that the President has the sole right to appoint and determine the tenure of the police chief based on trust and capability. Meanwhile, KPRP member and Presidential Advisor General (Ret.) Ahmad Dofiri highlighted the proposal's aim to establish career guidelines for police officers, including term limits for the top position.",

Yes, do not interfere with the President\u2019s\nauthority,\u201d Soedeson told Kompas.com on Wednesday (6\/5\/2026). The\nPresident has the right to choose someone he believes is capable of\nholding that position. \u201cThat is the President\u2019s prerogative. How can we\nlimit it? Like that. The end-user is the President. He knows who he will\nappoint, who that person is,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, in my opinion, do not limit\nthe President\u2019s authority to determine who the Kapolri is, the term of\noffice is in the hands of the President,\u201d he stated. Member of the KPRP\nand Special Advisor to the President on Security, Public Order, and\nPolice Reform, General (Ret.) Ahmad Dofiri, revealed that the KPRP also\nproposed guidelines related to police career progression. \u201cThat will be\nregulated regarding this career path or career progression. Entry, there\nis (recommendation to limit the Kapolri\u2019s term),\u201d Dofiri said at the\nPresidential Palace in Jakarta on Tuesday (5\/5\/2026).<\/p>",
