Many Who Took The Oath Violated Regulations

A week after he was sworn in as human resources assistant to the national police chief, Insp.Gen. Arief Sulistyanto took the oath of the job to vet middle-ranking officers and select police recruits. For the first time in the history of the Bhayangkara Corps (Police Force), they were asked to swear not to commit corruption, collusion and nepotism. Arief implemented this routine at every recruitment and selection of police officers. "We are limited in how we can properly monitor human character," said Arief, 51, who was appointed to his new job by Police Chief Gen. Tito Karnavian, last February 14.
