JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD said the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) had a mechanism to summon suspects, including Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. The institution is confirmed to have followed the applicable rules.
"Regarding the summons, there is already a mechanism at the KPK. (Calling, ed) first, second, third, call force, DPO (on the wanted list, ed). That's the order," Mahfud told reporters in East Java, Sunday, September 25.
Mahfud believes that the KPK will take persuasive steps first. Because, it is possible that Lukas will be present at the second examination which is scheduled for Monday, September 26 tomorrow.
"He was called fine first, right? He didn't necessarily come," he said.
In addition, the former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court (MK) also believes that if Lukas comes, the governor's health will be the focus of the KPK. He said the institution certainly has its own mechanism in dealing with related parties and suspects of alleged corruption.
"For example, if it is necessary to send it to the hospital or not and so on, the KPK will have its own mechanism," said Mahfud.
As previously reported, Lukas Enembe will be called again because he did not fulfill the summons of investigators due to illness. At that time, the examination was carried out in Papua.
However, his attorney, Stefanus Roy Rening, stated that his client would not attend because he was sick on Monday, September 26. He conveyed this when he came to the KPK's Red and White Building on Friday, September 23.
"You don't allow to attend on Monday. So we ask the Governor to cooperate, so we came early to convey that because the health development of the Governor, according to the doctor, had decreased somewhat," he said at the time.
In addition, he also asked Lukas to be allowed to go to Singapore for treatment. The governor has a stroke and is claimed to be unable to speak.
Stefanus even specifically asked President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to give permission. Moreover, the current condition of Lukas is called concerning.
"With the alarming condition, with the Governor's health condition, on behalf of the legal team, I ask President Jokowi to give him permission to seek treatment abroad," he said.
"Our legal team considers that if these steps are not taken by the state, the atmosphere in Papua will not be harmonious," concluded Stefanus.
