JAKARTA - Minister of Micro, Small, Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Maman Abdurrahman agreed with his wife, Agustina Hastarini, to Europe some time ago. This departure is to accompany her child in a cultural mission related to the International World Innovative Student Expo.
This was conveyed by Maman when he visited the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, July 4.
"I want to convey, the first thing, that my wife's departure abroad is to accompany my child, who is still in grade 1 junior high school, to take part in cultural mission matches, routine events carried out by schools," Maman told reporters at the location.
Maman said there were 27 children who left, including their children. "This is a routine program and my son is still in junior high school," he said.
"My wife certainly has a sense of concern to release my child. She is accompanying my child," continued Maman.
Furthermore, the Golkar politician claimed that he did not use state money. Maman admitted that he had shown payment documents to the anti-corruption commission.
"That's the first. Second, the food money and for catering my wife ate there and rented a vehicle from my wife's personal account. Third, the hotel booking money from there is also from personal money. It has been paid from May," he explained.
