Sir, there are many complaints from the public regarding performance of the National Police. The public even urged you to replace Head of the Police. In your opinion, when is the best time to replace the Police Head?
President of the Republic of Indonesia (Joko Widodo)
I see that the Police are still working hard to help and serve the people. That’s what I see. Head of the Indonesian Police is still Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
