The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Emphasized That Lukas Enembe, Firli: All Open

JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri emphasized that there was no special treatment for Lukas Enembe. The examination at the house of the Governor of Papua in Jayapura is a form of carrying out the task of investigating alleged riots.

"I don't think anything special. Everything is in the context of law enforcement," Firli told reporters quoted on Friday, November 11.

The presence of the KPK to Lukas' house was not based on other interests. It is ensured that no legal rules are violated.

"Everything we do is in accordance with the principle of implementing the main tasks of the KPK, what is called the public interest, what is called legal certainty, whether it is in order to uphold justice, proportionality, and also uphold human rights," explained the former Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK.

After all, there was no meeting in the dark room when he and the KPK team came to Lukas' house. Firli detailed that there were four investigators, four doctors, and the director of the investigation who participated.

In addition, other law enforcement officers were also present who provided security assistance.

"So everything is not confidential, everything is open. I think once we implement it all the media will follow. After the activity, we also tell you what we have to do," 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.

The presence of the anti-corruption commission to Jayapura is in the spotlight. One of them came from a former KPK employee who was a member of the Indonesia Calling (IM) 57+ Institute who assessed that there was special treatment from the anti-corruption commission on Lukas.

"Why did Lukas Enembe not be treated the same as the other suspects who were absent and were not willing to come even though they had been summoned many times by the KPK," Praswad told reporters, Friday, November 4.

Praswad assessed that this action was not in accordance with the principles and code of ethics of the KPK, one of which was treating all Indonesian citizens equally before the law. In fact, this treatment can be a bad precedent.

He said, it is not impossible that the way Lukas will be followed by other suspects. They could have reasoned, even asked the head of the anti-corruption commission to meet them to lobby.
