Amran, who is also the Head of the National Food Agency (Bapanas), said that his party immediately communicated with the police and TNI to follow up on the report.
“Earlier, we immediately called the Regional Police Chief, then the Criminal Investigation Agency, then the Regional Military Commander, immediately the rice (warehouse) was sealed, it wasn’t allowed to come out,”
The sealed warehouse belongs to PT Multazam Sabang Group.Amran said the team is currently still working to find the parties who are legally responsible.
“Well, this has various arguments, various theories of truth. What is clear is that if you are the commander in chief, Mr. President has said that imports are not allowed because we have a lot of stock, all Indonesian citizens, let alone officers or employees throughout Indonesia, must obey the orders of the commander in chief, Mr. President’s orders,” said Amran.
“Today we are saying that we are sealing it and we are asking to find out who the perpetrators are,” he said.
Apart from Sabang, Amran admitted that he received information about a similar incident in Batam.He is still confirming the veracity of the information.
“We even got a report, but we just called the Regional Police Chief for now, and someone in Batam also came in, but that can’t be confirmed yet,” he said.
Amran said this incident could hamper Indonesia’s food self-sufficiency plan which is targeted to be achieved in early December next week.
“We can say that Indonesia is self-sufficient. Don’t disturb it anymore. If there is, we will definitely investigate it,” concluded Amran.
