JAKARTA - Coordinator of the Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) Boyamin Saiman has encouraged the National Police Criminal Investigation Unit to carry out a reconstruction of the fire case of the Attorney General's Office building. Open reconstruction is considered important in order to answer public doubts about cigarette butts that caused the burning of the AGO building due to fire.
So what is the police response? The National Police emphasized that reconstruction has been carried out. The cause of the fire, based on the results of the investigation, was clear.
"It has been done, open the press conference again on Friday," said Head of Public Relations of the National Police, Inspector General Argo Yuwono, confirmed by VOI, Sunday, October 25.
This statement is at the same time Polri's answer to the circulation of memes about smoking not only causing impotence but also fires at the AGO building.
In this case, Bareskrim Polri named eight suspects. Five of them are construction workers.
The five construction workers have the initials T, H, S, K, and IS. They were named suspects for violating the no smoking rule in the personnel bureau hall.
While the other three namely, UAM as the foreman, R who is the Director of PT ARM and the Commitment Making Officer (PPK) of the Attorney General's Office, NH.
The determination of the suspect against UAM was reasoned because they did not supervise the five craftsmen while they were working. Meanwhile, R and NH were named suspects for making an agreement to use a dust cleaner cleaning fluid which is said to accelerate the combustion process.
The Director of the Directorate of General Crimes at Bareskrim Polri, Brigadier General Ferdy Sambo, said that the suspects who renovated the Personnel Bureau hall collected trash from their work.
The garbage is put into three polybags or large plastic bags. Including cigarette butts that may still be slightly lit.
"We collect all the used paper towels, put the used wood in it. Including cigarettes is thrown there," Ferdy told reporters, Friday, October 23.
Then, the suspects left the hall. They came down from the 6th floor of the AGO building.
Fires in polybags burn other rubbish. A large fire appeared and burned the surrounding objects.
"(Polybag) is close to thinner, aibon glue and others," he said.
In the end, an even bigger fire burned several parts of the AGO building.
In addition, Bareskrim Polri revealed that the dust cleaner used by the Attorney General's Office does not have a distribution permit. This is known from the results of the police investigation.
"After we studied this dust cleaner did not have a distribution permit, so the investigators concluded that the procurement of floor cleaning equipment was not in accordance with the provisions," said Brigadier General Ferdy Sambo.
According to him, the Attorney General's Office's (AGO) commitment maker (PPK) has collaborated with PT ARM as a producer of dust cleaner cleaning fluids since 2018.
"The procurement process has been carried out and has occurred for about two years," said Ferdy.
The agreement to use the illegal cleaning fluid was allegedly due to its low price. In fact, the content in the cleaning fluid is also very dangerous.
"It should know (it is dangerous). That's why it shouldn't be used but it should use it, maybe it's cheap," he said.
