JAKARTA - Member of Commission VI of the House of Representatives, Herman Khaeron, was recorded as receiving a brown envelope during a public hearing (RDPU) with the Board of Directors of PT Pertamina (Persero) on Tuesday, March 11. The video then went viral on social media.
The moment was recorded when the camera highlighted a member of Commission VI of the DPR, Darmadi Durianto, who asked Pertamina's board of directors.
In the video, Herman, wearing a yellow batik, can be seen being offered a red folder by someone. He then signed the paper on the folder, then took a yellow envelope and kept it under the table.
However, Herman denied allegations that the envelope was money for bribes and was related to corrupt practices. Herman emphasized that the envelope had an official travel fee that he had not taken.
"It's a heinous slander. It's a SPPJ (Security Adjustment Notice) that my official trip has not been taken," Herman said when contacted, Wednesday, March 12.
Herman confirmed that the signing took place when he attended the DPR RI Commission VI working meeting with PT Pertamina on Tuesday, March 11. However, he said, the documents he received were signed and the yellow envelopes he received came from the Secretariat of Commission VI of the DPR RI.
"It happened to be signed during the meeting, please clarify to the Secretariat of Commission VI," said Herman
Herman also admitted that he was surprised by the slanted narrative circulating on social media related to the video. He emphasized that he did not think anything when he received the Office Travel SPPJ.

"Indeed, there is a secretariat because I haven't taken the SPPD last week I didn't have time, because I am also the head of the State Financial Accountability Agency (BAKN) which I also have to serve there," he said.
"So yes, I never had bad thoughts, no one ever thought anything I signed here and I received my SPPD at the table here, with batik, yellow shirt," concluded Herman.
