Previously reported, the KPK had brought seven people consisting of private parties and Civil Servants (PNS) in a hand arrest operation (OTT) on Thursday, August 7. However, the polemic had occurred because Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Johanis Tanak previously confirmed that the East Kolaka Regent was caught OTT but soon NasDem issued a statement Abd Azis participated in a national working meeting (rakernas).
"We respect the law and the investigation process, but don't do dramas in open spaces on social media," said NasDem DPP General Treasurer Ahmad Sahroni, in his statement, Thursday, August 7.
"If this Regent is the target of law enforcement, please do it according to the process. But don't make noise as if OTT. People are now smarter, they can't be fooled," said the Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR.
He also regretted the framing that created public noise, even though there was no formal legal process.
