JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked Papua Governor Lukas Enembe's attorney Aloysius Renwarin to fulfill the investigator's summons as a witness. As a citizen, he was asked to obey when recalled.

"We remind you that those concerned are cooperative in attending as law-abiding," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Saturday, November 19.

Ali emphasized that Lukas' attorneys should provide an explanation before investigators if asked to attend. This step is considered more appropriate than expressing opinions in public spaces.

The KPK also believes that the testimony of Lukas' attorney, Aloysius Renwarin, is important. "Please attend and explain directly (which is known, ed) in front of investigators," he said.

The KPK summoned Aloysius as a witness regarding the alleged corruption that ensnared Lukas Enembe on Thursday, November 17. It's just that he was absent and would be recalled but did not know the exact schedule.

Meanwhile, Lukas Enembe's attorney, Roy Rening, said he and Aloysius were indeed summoned by investigators on that day. However, both of them chose to send a clarification letter and the anti-corruption commission had received it.

In addition to asking for clarification, these two attorneys also complained to the Indonesian Advocates Association (Peradi). They asked for protection and instructions for the summons of the anti-corruption commission.

This request arose because they felt that as attorneys they had an obligation to keep their clients secret. Not only that, both of them feel they have contributed because they facilitated the KPK's visit to Jayapura to check on Lukas.

Roy said the two would not attend the KPK summons without a recommendation from Peradi. Moreover, they always work according to the code of ethics.
