KPK's Response About Lukas Enembe Claims Of Disease: Please Come To Jakarta, We Do An Assessment

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to ask Papua Governor Lukas Enembe to come to Jakarta to undergo an examination. They will conduct an assessment to prove the reason for the pain that is often thrown out.

"We have said yes, please come to Jakarta. The KPK will conduct an assessment of health checks so whether they are really sick or then if they are sick, they will be given the opportunity to seek treatment," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, September 27.

Ali emphasized that the KPK upholds the human rights of the suspects, especially for treatment. However, they should not lie.

However, the KPK will make arrests if Lukas turns out to be pretending and can be held accountable for the alleged corruption that ensnared him.

"KPK will give the suspect the same opportunity if he is really sick, he cannot be examined, but honestly it can really be proven," he said.

"If on the other hand (the examination is not sick, ed), of course we will take legal steps from the KPK," continued Ali.

As previously reported, Lukas Enembe was again absent from the second summons as a suspect on Monday, September 26. His attorney, Stefanus Roy Rening, said his client was sick.

"People who give information must be healthy. If you are sick, how do you want to give information," said Lukas Enembe's attorney, Stefanus Roy Rening, to reporters in Jakarta, Monday, September 26.

Stefanus invited the KPK to come to Lukas' house in Papua. He will seek protection for the medical team when he visits and sees the condition of his client.

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for Lukas, M. Rifai Danus said the governor of Papua had been operated three times over the past year. Various operations he has carried out include heart surgery, pancreas, and eye disease.

"On this trip, he was sick and then recovered and recovered. The last year after he had surgery, three major operations," said Rifai.

The operation has been carried out in Singapore since 2021. Rifai's claim, only the doctor in the Lion Country can handle Lukas.

"The release is there. So this pain then charges there, it's active again, so his journey for what's his name, treatment has been scheduled," said Rifai.
