It is known that MAKI filed a pretrial lawsuit against the Minister of Trade, Muhammad Lutfi, in the case that the relevant ministry did not determine the cooking oil mafia suspect. felt disappointed and filed a lawsuit to the Central Jakarta District Court. He also considered that the Ministry of Trade was unprofessional because he was not present at the inaugural trial proposed by his party. "I was forced to repeat that I did not deserve to be a minister, so I just removed him," he said. MAKI as the plaintiff thought that by filing a pretrial against the minister of trade, the defendant immediately named a cooking oil mafia suspect. If this materialized, MAKI is ready to withdraw the lawsuit filed to the Central Jakarta District Court. "But in fact until now there has been no determination of a suspect," he was quoted as saying by Antara. MAKI's disappointment was also based on the previous fact that the trade minister on March 18, 2022 before the DPR felt very confident about the determination of the cooking oil mafia suspect, and had documents and data. On that basis, MAKI filed a lawsuit. The hope is that in the future there will be no more ministers doing the same thing. Because this action is considered by MAKI to be tantamount to deceiving the public. "They said they would firmly identify the suspect so that it hurt people's hearts to line up for treated cooking oil, but so far there has been none," he explained.
