JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto casually responded to the allegations that the current leadership was in the hands of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi). Everyone he said could have opinions or perceptions.
This was conveyed in relation to the statement by the Chairman of the PDIP DPP for Legal Reform, Ronny B. Talapessy, who called the current anti-corruption commission as the KPK in the Jokowi era. This is because the name of the leadership for the 2024-2029 period was chosen by the former Governor of DKI Jakarta before stepping down and maintained by President Prabowo Subianto.
"In my opinion, maybe it's just perceptions, conjectures.... Everyone can argue that the five of us feels that nothing is like that," Setyo told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, January 14.
Setyo assessed that all parties also knew that the leadership of the 2024-2029 period was carried out by Commission III of the DPR RI. And then processed through the leadership of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto," he said.
Ronny Talapessy previously claimed to have received information that had Hasto been targeted. This politician even had to be detained before the implementation of this year's party congress.
"We heard information that the Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto is targeted to be detained before the PDI-P Congress which will take place in the near future," said PDIP DPP chairman Ronny Talapessy in a press conference for the legal team at the PDIP Menteng DPP office, Central Jakarta, Thursday, January 9.
The detention aims to disrupt the party's consolidation process and silencing, continued Ronny. The goal is that the party bearing the symbol of a white-nosed bull is no longer critical of Jokowi who damaged democracy at the end of his power.
"All processes from the summons, confiscation of personal property, suspects, and search of the residence of the Secretary General of Hasto Kristiyanto, we value that they do not show pure efforts for the sake of law enforcement, but are part of a series of political operations with disruptive, chaotic targets, internal parties ahead of Congress," he explained.
This lawyer then mentioned how Jokowi continued to offer the names of the 10 leaders of the anti-corruption commission before stepping down. In fact, this step was criticized by a number of parties because this process should have been carried out by President Prabowo Subianto.
"At the end of his reign, former President Joko Widodo ignored public criticism, both from former commissioners, former investigators, academics, media, and other civil society to stop the selection process and hand it over to the Prabowo government who are just waiting a little more time to be sworn in," said Ronny.
"The day after being inaugurated, the Jokowi edition of the KPK immediately worked to carry out a criminalization agenda, in the form of forced punishment against the PDI-P through Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto because he spoke critically about the democratic damage that Jokowi had done," he added.
