JAKARTA - The performance of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) in auditing the cases of PT Asuransi Jiwasraya and PT Asabri has been questioned by the public. The reason was that there were allegations of a double audit report so that there was no recommendation for the Bakrie Group's examination to the prosecutor.

Responding to these allegations, the former Head of the Prosecutor's Commission, Halius Hosen spoke up. He urged the public to urge the disclosure of public information regarding the allegations of the two different investigative reports.

"The issue of the double audit report by the BPK must be revealed by law enforcement in a factual manner so that it does not go wild. For the Jiwasraya and Asabri cases in my opinion will still be long, time will tell, and the truth will never be defeated by evil deeds," said Halius in his statement to reporters, Tuesday, June 29.

Halius added that the role of attorneys is very important in conducting proportional assessments, especially related to the status of confiscated assets as evidence. Of course, he said, with full respect for the decisions made by the noble judges.

Previously, the suspect Benny Tjokrosaputro had mentioned that Jiwasraya had a lot of transactions with Bakrie Group shares, especially before 2008. Benny also questioned why they were not investigated, even though if you take into account Jiwasraya's shareholding in the Bakrie Group, it is much larger than the companies he controls. The BPK also seems to be selective in making reports to the Attorney General's Office.

"The issue of Benny Tjokro's business relationship with Aburizal Bakrie or Aburizal's involvement in the Jiwasraya case, is entirely the responsibility of the AGO in the future in resolving the Jiwasraya-Asabri Corruption case. Therefore, both the BPK and the AGO should not be selective in law enforcement, do not become a tool politics," he said.

According to him, BPK as an important guard in the ranks that supports law enforcement must be independent.

"The current audit system used by BPK is no longer able to make it (independent). I encourage revisions to the BPK audit system so that it can close all gaps, both internal and external, playing," he said.

Meanwhile, Trisakti University Criminal Law expert Abdul Fickar said that the BPK is a state institution that is not subject to the ruling regime. According to him, all the results of his audit work should be based on real conditions.

"If it turns out that there are indications of deviations from their work, then it can be a tool to punish the personnel and their leaders for being negligent in carrying out supervision. Especially if their authority is used for political purposes. They should be fired," said Fickar.

According to him, if two different reports are found, an investigation must be carried out to determine which one is true.

"The people directly or through the DPR can question it. Furthermore, if evidence is found, it can be punished. It would be really evil if it turns out that there are parties within the BPK who intentionally misappropriate data because the audit report is capable of determining a person's fate before the law!" he said.
