JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The House of Representatives (DPR) Commission III has accepted the nomination of Comr. Gen. Badrodin Haiti as the new chief of the National Police.

Later, the Commission III will soon propose Badrodin’s name to the House plenary session to get approval from ten factions of political parties.

As reported earlier, the Commission III conducted a fit and proper test on Badrodin this morning. About 49 members of the Commission III attended the fit and proper test session.

Badrodin has been nominated as the new police chief by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo. President Jokowi, in his letter to the DPR, decided to nominate Badrodin following public protest demanding the withdrawal of Budi Gunawan’s nomination. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
