TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Police Chief Gen. Tito Karnavian has appointed a successor of Deputy Police Chief Comr. Gen. Syafruddin.
“[The substitue is] the Chief of Criminal Investigation Unit,” said Tito at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Friday, August 17.
Comr. Gen Ari Dono Sukmanto, who is serving as the police chief of criminal investigation unit, will be sworn in as deputy police chief this afternoon.
Deputy Police Chief Syafruddin resigned from his position because he was appointed as the Minister of Empowerment of State Apparatus and Bureaucratic Reform (PAN-RB) to replace Asman Abnur.
Minister of State Secretary Pratikno said the dismissal of Asman was in relation with the attitude of the National Mandate Party (PAN) that did not support Jokowi in the 2019 presidential election. Minister Asman is from PAN faction.
“This is the consequence of political dynamics,” he said.
