JAKARTA - Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly said the alleged involvement of his son, Yamitema Laoly in a business in a correctional institution was a big lie. "Ah, that's a big lie, nothing. There will be information from the kalapas later," Yasonna said when met by reporters at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta, Antara, Tuesday, May 2. The son of the Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna H. Laoly, Yamitema Laoly, is said to have participated in the drug business in the prison by senior actor Tio Pakusadewo, as revealed in an interview on Uya Kuya's Youtube channel. Tio Pakusadewo explained that if the prison was in a state of power failure, it was a sign that drugs were brought into prison. Several years ago, Tio Pakusadewo had languished in Cipinang Prison due to drug cases. In addition, the @PartaiSocmed account mentions Yamitema Laoly and her company PT Natur Palas Indonesia and a foundation called the Jeera Foundation to monopolize the cooperative and canteen business in several large prisons. The Jeera Foundation is said to not only produce coffee, but also multimedia including photography training, music, leather crafts such as making bags that are collaborated with Indonesian weaving, bag accessories, paintings, bracelets, and clothes designs that will be marketed to the public. "That Tio has been there twice. He has also been used by Jeera to be a coach. So, Jeera is a foundation that fosters prisoners, baristas, skin, they have indeed collaborated with the cooperative where he is. Tio was once asked by the coach, but because he committed a serious violation, he was dismissed," added Yasonna. Yasonna even said that Tio Pakusadewo had been put in a special straff cell or cell for correctional inmates who were proven to have made a mistake in the detention center or could be referred to as a punishment cell. "That's why I'm also surprised. Tio Pakusadewo's violation asked about his behavior. Anyway, it's hard, entering the straff cell," said Yasonna. Yasonna emphasized that the Jeera Foundation trains prisoners. "This (Jeera) system (is) there, not him (Yamitema) there. The collaboration Foundation with prisons trains prisoners to be barista, skin (featuring), if you see there are skin products, well they are," added Yasonna.

Yasonna also denied that her son was actively involved in the foundation. "There is no (my son), only the existing foundation, he (Yemitema) does not participate inside, it's normal for politics," said Yasonna.
