Chief Narcotics Agency: Execution on Drug Dealers Neccesitated

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Head of Indonesian National Narcotics Agency (BNN) Budi Waseso said that the plan to have Indonesia as a drugs-free zone in 2015 is quite difficult in attainment as the efforts for its eradication mission is done half-heartedly.

In responding to such lack of effectiveness, Budi Waseso requests for authorities ranging from Indonesian Armed Forces to Police Force to execute drugs dealers with no hesitation.

He even said that he is willing to be held accountable should one of his men is blamed for executing the perpetrators behind drug-dealing without any prior notice being made beforehand.

“There should be no hesitation in executing drug dealers. I will personally take all the responsibilities should there is anyone who goes against such notion,” he said at the Persada Halim Executive Club, East Jakarta, Friday (18/12/2015).

As for preventive measures that the National Narcotics Agency has been exerting for the past couple of months, focus was very much placed upon the venues where the distribution of drugs is relatively rampant.

“According to the data that we have independently collected, we were able to learn the fact that transactions for drugs often take place inside night time recreational places and therefore we see those places are important for us to place more concentration upon. A warning sign is the least thing they could put up in preventing the undertakings inside the venue,” he further explained.

He believes that such decision of executing drug dealers is highly necessitated should the government want to eradicate the circulation once and for all. He also suggest for clubs or recreational places at night owners to take this matter seriously and remain cooperative with the authority.

“I believe that God is merciful. If God asks me later on as to why I kill a human being, his creation, I will answer the fact that I have killed a person who has been killing over hundreds of people. God will then answer that it is okay, I am forgiven,” he concluded.
