President Prabowo Subianto has firmly rejected the Police Reform Acceleration Team formed by Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, citing a lack of official legitimacy due to its composition solely of high-ranking police officers without involvement from civil society, academics, or independent figures.
The Authority Dispute
- President Prabowo has confirmed that there is only one official team recognized by the government, namely the Police Reform Committee formed by the President.
- This committee will consist of civil society representatives, legal experts, academics, and community leaders to ensure that police reform is carried out transparently, credibly, and accountably.
The Police Chief's Response
- Police Chief General Listyo Sigit has stated that the police internal team will continue to work on identifying issues and is ready to synergize with the official committee formed by the President.
- However, President Prabowo has emphasized that the state only recognizes the police reform team formed by the President.
Consequences
- The conflict of authority between the President and the Police Chief may result in disciplinary consequences for the Police Chief.
- Political observers suspect that the Police Chief's actions may be in response to instructions from Jokowi to undermine President Prabowo.
In this situation, the Police Chief faces a difficult choice between complying with the President's orders or facing the consequences of his actions
