Jokowi's Choice
President Joko Widodo finally made a bold move. He picked the chief of the National Counterterrorism Agency, Comr. Gen. Tito Karnavian, as the sole candidate for the National Police chief position. If the House of Representatives (DPR) approves, Tito will succeed the incumbent police chief, Gen. Badrodin Haiti, who is retiring.
Tito was the top graduate of the Military Academy in 1987. Five years later, he earned a doctorate in strategic studies from the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Highlights of his career included the arrests of Tommy Suharto, former President Suharto's son who ordered the murder of Supreme Court judge Syafiuddin Kartasasmita, and killing terrorist Noordin M. Top as well as the crackdown on the terrorist group led by Dr. Azahari.
