AGO Blames Top Cleaner Producers Despite Using 2 Years

JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (AGO) blames the top cleaner manufacturers (previously written as dust cleaners) who continue to sell them even though they do not have a distribution license related to the main building fire. In fact, the AGO has been using it for the last two years.

"Of course that's a separate problem, why is it still being sold, of course, who will sell it, whose production should have been banned," said Head of the Legal Information Center of the AGO, Hari Setiyono, to reporters, Monday, October 26.

Hari did not explain the form of internal control in the use of illegal cleaning fluids. He only said that his party was waiting for the results of further investigations.

"What will the results of the investigation look like," he said.

Hari emphasized that the AGO supports all investigations carried out by Bareskrim Polri. So, found a bright spot on this matter.

"But yesterday investigators had conveyed that there was an element of negligence," he said.

Previously, Bareskrim Polri revealed that the dust cleaner used by the Attorney General's Office did not have a distribution permit. This is known from the results of the police investigation.

"After we examined this dust cleaner did not have a distribution permit, so investigators concluded that the procurement of floor cleaning equipment was not in accordance with the provisions," said the Director of the General Crime Directorate of Bareskrim Polri Brigadier General Ferdy Sambo to reporters, Friday, October 23. .

According to him, the Attorney General's Office's (AGO) commitment maker (PPK) has collaborated with PT ARM as a producer of dust cleaner cleaning fluids since 2018.

"The procurement process has been carried out and has occurred for about two years," said Ferdy.

The agreement to use the illegal cleaning fluid was allegedly due to its low price. In fact, the content in the cleaning fluid is also very dangerous.

"It should know (dangerous). That's why it shouldn't be used but it should be used, maybe it's cheap," he said.

The National Police named eight suspects in the AGO building fire. Five of them are construction workers with the initials T, H, S, K, and IS. They were named suspects for violating the no smoking rule in the personnel bureau hall.

While the other three namely, UAM as the foreman, R who is the Director of PT ARM and the Commitment Making Officer (PPK) of the Attorney General's Office, NH.

The determination of the suspect against UAM was reasoned because they did not supervise the five craftsmen while they were working. Meanwhile, R and NH were named suspects for making an agreement to use a dash cleaner cleaning fluid which is said to accelerate the combustion process.

The suspects were charged under Article 188 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 and Article 56 of the Criminal Code with the threat of 5 years in prison.
