Budi Gunawan is Not Fit to be Deputy Chief of Police

THE public refuses to accept Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan as deputy chief of police. Of the 5,000-plus respondents in last week's Tempo poll, 79.9 percent do not believe the current head of the Police Academy should become deputy chief of police.

Budi is considered to have too many flaws to be the head commander of the police force. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named Budi a graft suspect for bribes he accepted during his time as head of the National Police's Career Development Bureau from 2003 to 2006. Due to this situation, President Joko Widodo withdrew Budi's candidacy as police chief, even though judge Sarpin Rizaldi granted Budi a pretrial suit against the decision. Instead, one-time deputy chief of police, Comr. Gen. Badrodin Haiti, will fill the position.
