Retired officers sue Da'i, Megaawati<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A group of retired senior police officers have
\nfiled lawsuits with the State Administrative Court against
\nPresident Megawati Soekarnoputri and National Police chief Gen.
\nDa'i Bachtiar over what they say was their forced early
\nretirement.<\/p>\n
The lawsuits were filed in response to a decree from Da'i
\nproposing their retirement, and a presidential decree accepting
\nthe proposal.<\/p>\n
Included among the officers filing lawsuits against either
\nDa'i, Megawati or both, are former Jakarta Police chief Comr.
\nGen. Noegroho Djajoesman, former Jambi Police chief Brig. Gen.
\nToto Soenarjo Soewali and a number of senior commissioners and
\nadjutant senior commissioners.<\/p>\n
The lawyer for the officers, Adnan Buyung Nasution, said his
\nclients decided on the lawsuits on May 30, after the Supreme
\nCourt suggested in a decree that the officers take legal action
\nto resolve the dispute.<\/p>\n
Da'i issued a decree last December proposing the officers'
\nretirement. At the time of this decree, the old law on the police
\nwas still in effect, and according to this law the retirement age
\nfor officers was 55.<\/p>\n
But the President issued a decree accepting Dai's proposal in
\nMay, after a new law had been endorsed by the House of
\nRepresentatives. --JP<\/p>",
