Q & A
What is the main concern regarding the role of the police in the Indonesian elections?
-The main concern is the potential political mobilization of the police and civil servants (ASN) during the elections, which may influence the results. There are concerns that police officers and officials might be swayed by political interests, undermining the integrity and neutrality of the election process.
Who are the key figures mentioned as playing significant roles in the 2024 Indonesian elections?
-The key figures mentioned are Generals Sigit and Tito, who are cited as playing pivotal roles in the election process, allegedly using state power and resources, including the police and ASN, to influence the outcome.
What is the proposed solution regarding the positioning of the police in the government structure?
-There is a debate about whether the police should remain under the president or be placed under the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri). Some argue that placing the police under the Ministry of Home Affairs would align with international practices, while others believe it could lead to overreach and political interference.
What are the risks of placing the police under the Ministry of Home Affairs, according to the discussion?
-Placing the police under the Ministry of Home Affairs could lead to a situation where the police are used as a political tool, potentially serving the interests of political elites. This could undermine the principle of police neutrality and politicize law enforcement, as seen in some other countries.
What does the speaker think about the possibility of placing the police under the Ministry of Defense?
-The speaker strongly opposes placing the police under the Ministry of Defense, citing it as a regression from post-reform progress. They argue that it would reverse reforms made after 1998, when efforts were made to separate the police from military control.
How do the participants in the discussion view the current state of police neutrality during the election process?
-The participants express concern that police neutrality is being compromised during the elections. There have been reports of police involvement in supporting certain candidates or parties, which creates a perception of bias and undermines public trust in the electoral process.
What is the role of Kompolnas in addressing the issue of police neutrality?
-Kompolnas (National Police Commission) is tasked with monitoring and overseeing police neutrality. They emphasize that they respond to complaints and reports through established channels, but the effectiveness of their oversight is questioned when there is a lack of follow-up on reports and investigations into police misconduct.
What are the three main functions of the police, as discussed in the script?
-The three main functions of the police, as outlined in the script, are: 1) Harkam (public order and security), 2) Kamdagri (domestic security), and 3) Gakum (law enforcement). These roles are seen as unique to the Indonesian police force and contribute to its complex position within the government.
What is the historical context behind the debate on police reform in Indonesia?
-The debate on police reform in Indonesia stems from the post-1998 reform era, when efforts were made to distance the police from military control and political influence. The police have undergone a series of changes since then, but challenges remain, such as concerns over political interference and corruption.
How do the participants view the relationship between the police and politicians?
-The participants are concerned that the relationship between the police and politicians is becoming too intertwined, leading to a 'conflict of interest.' Some participants suggest that this connection could harm the integrity of the police force, as officers might be influenced by political pressures rather than remaining neutral and professional.
