JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe is currently being treated at the Army Central Hospital (RSPAD) for refusing to eat and take medicine.

"The information we received, his health condition decreased because he did not want to eat and take medicine from the doctor," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri when confirmed by Antara in Jakarta, Monday.

Ali said the KPK team of doctors had recommended that Lukas Enembe seek treatment at the RSPAD since Saturday (15/7), but the person concerned refused to be referred. However, Lukas was finally willing to be referred to the RSPAD for treatment on Sunday (16/7).

"The KPK doctor since Saturday has been drafting to be referred to the RSPAD but the person concerned refused, so the team of prosecutors then contacted the legal advisor and his family in order to persuade him to be taken to the RSPAD," he said.

The KPK hopes that Lukas Enembe can cooperate by following the advice of the team of doctors for the sake of health and the smooth running legal process.

"In the future, we hope that the person concerned can cooperate and be disciplined in taking drugs and following the doctor's advice for the sake of health and the smooth running of the trial process," said Ali.
