DENPASAR - The Public Prosecutor from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has rejected all exceptions or objections submitted by the former Regent of Tabanan Ni Putu Eka WiryastutI.

At the trial reading the previous exception at the Denpasar Corruption Court (Tipikor), legal counsel Eka Wiryastuti filed three objections to the KPK Public Prosecutor's indictment against his client.

However, all of the exceptions submitted by the accused bribery of the Tabanan Regency Regional Incentive Fund (DID) were rejected by the KPK Public Prosecutor, because it was deemed that there were no errors in the indictment from the start.

"We, the Public Prosecutor, have concluded that the indictment against Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti has met the formal and material requirements as stipulated in Article 143 paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Criminal Procedure Code," said KPK public prosecutor Luki Dwi Nugroho in Denpasar, reported by Antara, Thursday, June 30.

In the hearing to read the response to the exception, Luki and his colleagues rejected the exception stating that the KPK charges were vague (Obscuur Libel).

"We do not agree with the objections of the legal counsel who stated that the indictment was unclear and vague, because the indictment already described the events or criminal acts that were indicted," he said before the judge.

In addition, the memorandum of objection regarding the indictment of error in persona and the inaccuracy in describing participation in the indictment was also rejected by the prosecutor.

"To find out whether the defendant is the perpetrator, the person who ordered him to do it, or participated in the act, must be seen and proven first in the realm of evidence," said Luki.

The prosecutor asked the judge to give a decision to reject the exception of the daughter of the General Chairperson of the Bali DPRD I Nyoman Adi Wiryatama or at least not accept it.

In addition, the prosecutor hopes that the judge will accept all the responses submitted by his side, state that the indictment from the beginning has fulfilled the formal and material requirements and is valid as the basis for hearing the case, and continues the examination.

Meanwhile, the defendant's lawyer admitted that he still adhered to the memorandum of objection that was submitted, even though the interlocutory decision had not yet been issued by the judge. Eka, who was previously seated in a prison chair, also expressed his hopes after the trial.

"This process is already underway, meaning that I as an Indonesian citizen have the right to make exceptions and we leave it to the judge, hopefully the law in Indonesia is enforced based on the principle of justice," said Eka Wiryastuti.
