Jimly meets police chief, urges police reform steps be carried out
Jimly said some recommendations were set aside by DPR, but most were approved by the president and now await action by Polri.
Former head of the Polri Reform Acceleration Commission, Jimly Asshiddiqie, said he met with the police chief to discuss follow-up on the police reform recommendations. He said the meeting was held so that public aspirations collected by KPRP would not appear to have been ignored. Jimly said several proposals were not included in the law by DPR, but most others have already been approved by the president, leaving implementation to Polri. He said the momentum for law enforcement under the police chief should be supported alongside internal reform so public trust in security and law enforcement can be restored. Jimly also hoped court rulings, including those from Mahkamah Agung and Mahkamah Konstitusi, would be followed up properly by DPR.
