| description | The Indonesian military (TNI) was widely involved in managing the COVID-19
pandemic in the Riau Islands province (KEPRI) by providing additional manpower,
health infrastructure, and transportation for vaccines and medical kits. The
dependence on the TNI’s facilities revealed the deficiencies in the KEPRI local
government’s key apparatus, notably its medical infrastructure and the connectivity
platforms linking it to the rural areas and outer islands. Meanwhile, the existence of
new defence structures in KEPRI, such as the Joint Regional Defence Command
I (Kogabwilhan I), did not automatically make them close partners for the KEPRI
government in managing the pandemic in the province. Instead, KEPRI local
authorities mostly worked with lower military commands based in the region as
the involvement of Kogabwilhan I was mainly directed by the central government.
This shows the limited influence that KEPRI government authorities have over
Kogabwilhan I, and potentially over the newly relocated Navy First Fleet Command
(Koarmada I), through the structures located in the province. |
