Regarding Rizieq Shihab’s Activity Permit, Ridwan Kamil Calls the Difference between DKI and West Java

BANDUNG, KOMPAS.com – A series of activities Rizieq Shihab which sparked crowds in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic led to a long polemic.

West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil then explained about the government hierarchy in addressing this matter.

He said that the licensing process for each activity was with the local government and local officials.

“Please differentiate between the discretionary hierarchy of crowd permits. Jakarta is technically the governor directly. But for provinces outside Jakarta, the authority lies with the regent, the mayor, as the first government instrument in dealing with local permits,” said Emil, Ridwan Kamil’s nickname at City Bandung, Tuesday (17/11/2020).

Thus, according to Emil, the attitude of governors outside DKI Jakarta is only coordinative and no longer deals with technical issues.

He gave an example, the West Java Provincial Government has compiled regulations regarding health protocol enforcement.

However, its implementation is in accordance with the policies of the local regional head.

“There is already a Governor Regulation on violation protocols, fines. But the implementation in provinces outside DKI is carried out by the regents, mayors. For example, I used to urge you not to open night entertainment first, but the Mayor in Bekasi has another view. discretionary name, “said Emil.

Meanwhile, Parahyangan University constitutional law expert, Asep Warlan Yusuf, said the rules must be enforced.

However, you don’t necessarily have to blame each other.

“Each government has a different authority, the central government, provincial, regency and city authorities have different powers. So, don’t say the governor is guilty, the regent or the mayor is guilty, what is the basis? Don’t just blame,” said Asep over the phone.

Asep explained, in responding to any allegation of illegal acts committed by a person, it is necessary to precede a thorough study until a conclusion is drawn as proof that the person concerned is found guilty or not.

That too, according to Asep, applies to government institutions in addressing the problem of crowds of supporters of Rizieq Shihab.

“There are five factors that must be considered, namely who the perpetrator is, what rules are violated, what are the consequences, what are the responsibilities, and the resolution,” said Asep.

Even so, Asep admitted that handling the masses of Rizieq supporters was not an easy job.

The reason, according to Asep, is that they move on the basis of fanaticism.

“It is difficult, I think it is difficult because they are fanatical. It is different with Pilkada supporters, because it is clear who is in charge. If they are, who can be held,” he said.
