House of Representatives speaker Pramono Anung said the resignation of Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) legislator Arifinto was the best decision for all, including the House.
Arifinto was photographed allegedly viewing pornographic content on his tablet during a House plenary session last Friday. The public protested against Arifinto’s actions, and criticized his party and the House for the inappropriate act.
“I think Arifinto's resignation will be good for his party and the House's image,” Pramono said Monday.
He added that he appreciated Arifinto's move, saying legislators rarely took responsibility for their misdeeds, especially since Arifinto's misconduct had worsened the image of the House.
“This matter really smeared the image of the House. Once a person is chosen to become a legislator, their behavior, especially those under the public eye, must be controlled,” he said, as reported by kompas.com.
