JAKARTA - The President Commissioner of PT Pertamina (Persero) for the period 2019-2024 Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok was present to testify in the trial of the alleged corruption in the procurement of Pertamina's liquefied natural gas (LNG), at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court, Monday, March 2.
Ahok arrived at around 10.00 WIB wearing a long-sleeved white batik with black patterns.
After arriving at the Jakpus PN, Ahok immediately headed to the Wirjono Projodikoro 2 room to wait for the trial to begin.
"Later, just wait, when the trial is asked," said Ahok, quoted by Antara.
Ahok will testify in the case of alleged corruption in the procurement of LNG Corpus Christi Liquefaction LLC (CCL) at Pertamina and other related institutions in 2011-2021, which dragged Pertamina Gas Director for the period 2012-2014 Hari Karyuliarto.
The case also dragged Vice President of Strategic Planning and Business Development of the Pertamina Gas Directorate for the period 2012-2013, Yenni Andayani, as a defendant.
The two defendants allegedly caused damage to state finances worth 113.84 million US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 1.77 trillion due to legal acts that enriched the President Director of Pertamina for the period 2009-2014 Galaila Karen Kardinah alias Karen Agustiawan worth Rp. 1.09 billion and 104,016 US dollars and enriched CCL by 113.84 million US dollars.
The illegal acts committed by the two defendants, namely Hari, allegedly did not prepare guidelines for the LNG procurement process from international sources and continued to process the LNG procurement from Cheniere Energy Inc.
Meanwhile, Yenni proposed Hari to sign the Circular Board Meeting Minutes regarding the decision on the signing of the LNG Train 1 and Train 2 sales and purchase agreement from CCL without being supported by economic studies, risk studies, and mitigation in the procurement process of CCL LNG, and without the buyer of CCL LNG who has been bound by an agreement.
Thus, the actions of the two defendants are regulated and threatened with criminal punishment in Article 2 paragraph (1) or Article 3 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) jo.
