Today's Petition Rights, Gowa Regent Asked to Clarify Alleged Corruption of Uniforms, Scholarships, to Infidelity
GOWA - Gowa Regent Sitti Husniah Talenrang is scheduled to attend a clarification hearing of the Special Committee (Pansus) of the Gowa DPRD Hak Angket today, Tuesday, July 14. The trial, which took place in the Hall on the second floor of the Gowa DPRD Office, Jalan Masjid Raya, Somba Opu District, will be held in an open manner so that the public can witness the process of clarification.
During the hearing, the Sub-Committee will ask the Regent of Gowa for an explanation regarding the three materials that are the object of the right to inquiry, namely the alleged corruption in the procurement of free school uniforms, the alleged revocation of the S3 Risqila Amran scholarship, and the alleged disgraceful act of infidelity.
Before summoning the Regent of Gowa, the Commission had examined a number of witnesses and collected various statements as part of the investigation into the three issues.
Chairman of the Gowa DPRD Inquiry Rights Committee, Kasim Sila, said that all questions that would be asked in the hearing would only focus on the three objects of the inquiry rights that were being processed.
"The material is the three objects of the survey," Kasim Sila told reporters, Monday, July 13.
Kasim emphasized that based on the inquiry rights mechanism, the Regent of Gowa must be present in person in the hearing and cannot be represented or accompanied by a lawyer because the process is different from the trial in court.
He also ensured that the trial would take place in public as a form of commitment by the DPRD to transparency and accountability to the public.
"We agreed to the public inquiry because the public should not judge that there is another collusion with the regent's mother, there is none," he said.
According to Kasim, the Commission also gave the opportunity to the Regent of Gowa to explain as long as the material presented was not sensitive.
"In fact, if the Regent asks for what he wants to convey, if it is not a sensitive matter, why not close it, we will hold a public hearing so that the public can see," he said.
He hopes that the openness of the trial can increase public confidence in the petition rights process as well as become an objective basis for the DPRD in making decisions later.
"Let the public judge and don't ask too many questions about decision-making. If the public sees it, the public will say oh it's a good decision for the DPR because it starts with witnesses, our expert testimony is open," he concluded.
