JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKN) Anas Urbaningrum did not question the parties who questioned when he kept his words, "Just one rupiah Anas corruption in Hambalang, hanging Anas at Monas".
"It's okay because it's driven by a group that has its own political interests. That's a matter of course," Anas told reporters in the Monas area, Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, July 15.
Anas then said something more appropriate to hang at Monas was hope.
"Therefore, the hope is to hang your body above the sky. Under the sky, there is Monas," he said.
Anas is a former convict in the Hambalang project corruption case. He was officially released from the Sukamiskin Class IA Prison, Bandung City, West Java, on April 11, 2023.
At that time, Anas was free on leave before release (CMB). With this status, Anas still needs to be obliged to report to the Correctional Center for the next three months.
After being released, several parties began to question Anas' words about being hanged at Monas if he committed only one rupiah corruption in the Hambalang project.
