SP/Carlos Paath – Indonesia's only candidate to head the National Police promised to crackdown on corruption, terrorism and drugs as the House of Representatives commission on legal affairs approved his bid on Thursday.

"What we will prioritize is law enforcement related to corruption, drugs and terrorism," Com. Gen. Sutarman said. "These three crimes are systemic and disrupt people's lives."

House Commission III approved Sutarman's bid in a 12-hours fit-and-proper test on Thursday. The approval was unanimous.

"We approve and appoint Com. Gen. Sutarman as the National Police Chief," said Pieter Zulkifli Simabuea, the head of the commission – which oversees legal affairs – after the session closed on Thursday evening.

The commission will now issue a report to the House of Representatives' Consultative Body, which will then forwarded it to the plenary meeting for final approval.

Sutarman said that he would support the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in handling corruption cases. That support, he said, would range from searches for wanted suspects to training and coordination.

He promised transparency and extensive coordination with institutions outside the police force.

"The KPK has the authority to supervise the handling of cases conducted by the police," he said, according to Indonesian news portal liputan6.com. We are open and willing to cooperate so that the process would not be too difficult."
