This trip was carried out by Firli with the aim of making a pilgrimage to the graves of his parents. According to MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman, the use of luxury helicopters with the PK-JTO code is unnecessary.
This is because the distance from Palembang to Baturaja is only four hours by car. Moreover, he said, the use of this helicopter violated the KPK's code of ethics.
