Regarding The Difference In Information On The Attorney General's Certificate, BEM Unsoed: Strong Allegations Of Public Deception
JAKARTA - The polemic over the diploma of Attorney General ST Burhanuddin continues to raise pros and cons. The chairman of the Unsoed Student Executive Board (BEM), Fakhrul Firdausi also admitted that his party would not be surprised if there was a polemic about the differences in the educational background of the former Jamdatun.
He even suspected that the appointment of ST Burhanuddin as Professor of Criminal Law at Unsoed tended to be politically charged. Moreover, there are differences in the educational background of the Attorney General, ST Burhanuddin, which is revealed from his professor's inaugural speech and his curriculum vitae published on the official website of the Attorney General's Office.
"I think the indications can be there (the Attorney General's website is suspected of defrauding the public)," Fakhrul told reporters, Saturday, October 2.
Fakhrul also revealed the fact that his party did not know about the process of inauguration of the Attorney General as a professor of criminal law at Unsoed. He also wondered why the selection process could not be widely known by the public, especially as an Unsoed student.
"Because I feel that giving an academic degree without going through a thorough and careful study tends to be politically charged, there are certain interests to be achieved so that the awarding of a non-study degree is carried out," he said.
According to him, BEM Unsoed as a student or academic community could not even get clear information.
"Regarding whether or not Prof. ST Burhanuddin is eligible to be made a professor. Or whether there is compatibility of data, information and files that have met the requirements or not," he said.
With the difference in the educational background of ST Burhanuddin, BEM Unsoed also promised to explore further. The reason is that the problem is related to the credibility or the truth of one piece of information that is the basis for a person to be confirmed as a professor.
"We will try to find out (the difference in information on the Attorney General's educational background) hopefully we can get it soon," he continued.
From the start, Fakhrul revealed that his party had firmly stated that the Attorney General was not worthy to be confirmed as a professor. Because, he continued, his track record as the Attorney General has never been committed to resolving gross human rights violators.
"So when there is a mismatch of information, we are actually not surprised. Because from the beginning we have assessed from a more substantial matter, namely the duties of the attorney general's authority and function which are not carried out in cases of gross human rights violations," said Fakhrul.
Meanwhile, Margo Setiawan, an observer from Lintasan 66 (Battle 66) said that the polemic of the different educational backgrounds of the Attorney General was a serious problem. So that President Joko Widodo was urged to reshuffle ST Burhanuddin.
"The controversy over the Attorney General's diploma must be cleared because it is very fatal for a public official. Because, it is possible that there are elements of information embezzlement and public lies," said Margo some time ago.

He also gave the example of comedian Komar, who was imprisoned for two years and failed to become Chancellor at a private university, not famous just because of a fake diploma.
"This irregularity must be revealed, clarified, and given concrete evidence," he said.
He also urged the Attorney General to be removed from his position and his diploma case be thoroughly investigated. According to him, if it is proven that there is an element of fraud or embezzlement, the criminal charges can be investigated.
"He should be on the reshuffle list," he said.
Margo said that the various problems that occurred indicated the weakness of ST Burhanuddin's leadership. Like the fire at the Attorney General's Office on August 22, 2020, which only dragged 5 defendants, namely the handyman and the foreman. In the end, the builders were only sentenced to 1 year in prison, while the foreman was acquitted.
Then the panel of judges of the DKI Jakarta High Court eased the sentence of Prosecutor Pinangki Sirna Malasari from 10 years to only 4 years in the case of corruption in fatwa management at the Supreme Court (MA). Regarding the decision, many parties consider that this neglected sense of justice is heavily influenced by the Attorney General, because he maintains the honor of his corps.
Margo assessed that the Attorney General was suspected of having carried out inappropriate and inappropriate actions by deceiving the public and having injured people's trust in the AGO. "We need a strong Attorney General so that the law enforcement agenda, as President Joko Widodo has repeatedly said, can be realized immediately," he said.
