Jakarta Police need reforming

Jakarta Police need reforming

From Rakyat Merdeka

Rakyat Merdeka of Oct. 23 reported that Jakarta Police chief Noegroho Djajoesman told the media he had established a fact- finding team to investigate the attack on Jakarta Hospital. Is this pretending to be stupid or really stupid? What is the use of forming a team called a fact-finding team? Please read the Criminal Code, Sir!

Paragraph I articles 1 to 4 mention the general stipulations on investigation.

Paragraph I Article 4 says an investigator is an official of the National Police who receives the authority by virtue of the law to carry out an investigation.

Paragraph I Article 5 refers to the general stipulations on the explanation of investigations.

It is thus very clear that it is his duty. There is no need to establish a team. It is pure nonsense. The facts have borne out that the doers are the police whose organizational structure is clear. What is a fact-finding team for? It is incompetent!

The establishment of a fact-finding team by the Jakarta Police chief is only proof that the organization and the administrative system of the Jakarta Police is chaotic. Their internal affairs do not function as they should so they do not know which police unit attacked the Jakarta Hospital.

At the time of writing this letter, 48 hours have passed and still it is not known who the criminal protagonists were who led the attack and who placed a bomb in the hospital's mortuary.

The Jakarta Police must really be reformed immediately.
