Bukan Dokter Dan Penyidik, Apa Urgensinya Firli Bahuri Hadir Di Rumah Lukas Enembe?

The presence of Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri at the residence of Papua Governor Lukas Enembe on Thursday, November 3, was questioned by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW). He is considered not to need to participate when the anti-corruption commission team examines the alleged corruption suspect.

"Until now, we really do not understand the urgency of a KPK chairman Firli Bahuri coming to attend the direct examination of Lukas Enembe at his residence," ICW researcher Kurnia Ramadhana told reporters, Saturday, November 5.

Kurnia assessed that Firli did not need to go to Jayapura. The examination of Lukas should be attended by investigators and representatives of doctors from the KPK and the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI).

According to Kurnia, Firli should also remember that the status of the head of the anti-corruption commission is no longer an investigator. This is based on Article 21 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 19 of 2019.

"In addition, Firli is also not a doctor who has the ability to detect a person's health," he said.

"So his presence (Firli Bahuri at Lukas' residence, especially until shaking hands like that, is more like a joke that invites laughter in the eyes of the community," continued Kurnia.

Furthermore, the anti-corruption activist also questioned the attitude of the KPK Supervisory Board which did not prohibit Firli's departure. Although the KPK Council Regulation Number 2 of 2020 Article 4 Paragraph (2) letter a may be the justification but Firli's presence is not needed.

"So the KPK Supervisory Board should have banned it, not let it happen," he said.

As previously reported, Firli Bahuri together with a team of KPK doctors and the Executive Board of the Indonesian Doctors Association (PB IDI) and investigators met with Lukas Enembe on Thursday, November 3. An examination related to the alleged corruption carried out by Lukas has also been carried out.

However, the examination was immediately completed because of Lukas' health. At that time, he was sick and his condition had been examined by a team of doctors.
