JAKARTA - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin emphasized that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the basis for arresting Papua Governor Lukas Enembe.

"The problem with the arrest by the KPK, I think the KPK certainly has evidence or has a basis, and for that I don't think there are exceptions, other governors can, so even if Lukas Enembe does the same thing, of course he will be treated the same way," said the vice president in Jakarta, Thursday, January 12, was confiscated by Antara.

This was conveyed by the Vice President in response to reporters' questions regarding the arrest of Lukas Enembe by KPK investigators regarding the alleged corruption on Tuesday, January 10.

Ma'ruf asked sympathizers or supporters of Lukas to be able to understand and be proud of the arrest of Lukas, because the Indonesian legal system will apply to anyone suspected of committing a criminal act.

"It will be proven later or not, depending on the results of the examination," he said.

Meanwhile, regarding the daily implementation of the Governor of Papua which was mandated to the Regional Secretary of Papua Province Muhammad Ridwan Ruikutun, the Vice President did not consider it to be a problem because Ridwan had been a regional secretary for a long time and had already carried out Plh's functions, when Lukas was sick.

Meanwhile, regarding the suspension of regional funds after the arrest of Lukas, the Vice President said that a solution would be carried out in the near future.
