Firli Bahuri Possibly Joining Independent Team To Meet Lukas Enembe In Jayapura

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nawawi Pomolango said the leader who will depart to see the condition of Papua Governor Lukas Enembe is Firli Bahuri.

The KPK chairman will go to Jayapura with an independent team consisting of KPK doctors and the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI).

"I did hear that Chairman Firli Bahuri might join the team to Jayapura," Nawawi told reporters, Wednesday, October 26.

Firli's departure is believed by Nawawi to be without problems. Moreover, the purpose of this former Deputy for KPK's Enforcement was to go to Jayapura to work to check on the condition of Lukas Enembe.

"It's not a matter of something new, but it's something that can and is legal to do," he said.

"Article 113 of the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) itself outlines the provisions, 'if a suspect or witness who is summoned gives a proper and reasonable reason that he cannot come to the investigator conducting the examination, the investigator comes to his residence'. indeed there is a basis," continued Nawawi.

After all, Firli came with an independent team. Thus, the planned presence of the Chairperson of the KPK to Jayapura will not violate any rules.

"The team in question includes a team of doctors formed by IDI who will later check on LE's health condition and can provide a second opinion on LE's health condition. So Pak Firli's participation is still within the framework of realizing his duties as KPK Leader and there is nothing to question," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK confirmed that it would dispatch its doctors who are members of the independent team of the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) to Jayapura. They will check the health of Lukas Enembe, who is now a suspect in a corruption case.

In addition to dispatching an independent team, it is planned that a leader will also meet Lukas. However, it has not been decided who will go there.

For information, Luke Enembe has been named a suspect by the KPK. However, the case against him has not been detailed.

Lukas will actually be questioned on Monday, September 26 at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. However, the examination was not carried out because Lukas claimed to be sick and could not provide information.

Furthermore, the KPK will again make calls that have not been informed for sure. Lukas was asked to cooperate in fulfilling the summons of the KPK investigators because his statement was needed to make clear the allegations of corruption that occurred.
