REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- President Joko Widodo's letter bearing the nomination of Commissioner General Badrodin Haiti as Indonesia's new national police chief was read during the House of Representatives' (DPR's) plenary session here, Tuesday (7/4).
"One of the agenda items of the House's plenary meeting is reading President Joko Widodo's letter. We shall also listen to the Supreme Audit Agency's (BPK's) report," House Speaker Setya Novanto remarked.
The House's plenary meeting was held a day after President Joko Widodo presided over a consultative meeting with the House leaders, including Setya Novanto, for talks about Badrodin Haiti's nomination as the country's police chief and the 2015 revised state budget on Monday.
According to DPR Deputy Chairman Agus Hermanto, the president and lawmakers would not intervene in the decision-making process regarding the appointment of the figure to fill the deputy police chief's post.
The final decision about that matter would be disclosed to the police institution, he noted.
Commissioner General Badrodin Haiti has become the country's acting police chief to replace General Sutarman, whose term as national police chief was cut short prior to his official retirement in October 2015 by President Joko Widodo on January 16, 2015.
Born in Paleran Village, Umbulsari Sub-district, Jember District, East Java Province, on July 24, 1958, Haiti is known as the best graduate of the Indonesian Police Academy.
