JAKARTA - The Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in Sabu Raijua, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) assesses that what the elected regent Orient Riwu Kore has committed is deceiving the public.
This matter is in regard to the citizenship status (WN) of Orient which was confirmed by the United States Embassy (US) in Jakarta as a US citizen.
"There was a public deception carried out by the elected regent of Sabu Raijua", said the head of Election Supervisory Agency of Sabu Raijua, Yugi Tagi Huma when confirmed as reported by Antara, Wednesday, February 3.
According to Yugi what Orient did could tarnish the democratic process in the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and could damage the political system in Indonesia as well.
From the start, the General Election Supervisory Agency of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) was suspicious of this. During the Regional Head Elections period, even before the appointment, his party had reminded the General Election Commission (KPU) of Sabu Raijua to trace Orient's citizenship again.
"We have even sent a letter to the embassy since early January, but only received a reply after the appointment of the elected regent on Tuesday, February 2 yesterday", he added.
Furthermore, he said, his party had also sent letters to the General Election Supervisory Agency of East Nusa Tenggara, the General Election Commission of East Nusa Tenggara, the Indonesian General Election Commission, and also the General Election Supervisory Agency in Jakarta to handle this case.
"We'll just wait for the results. Because our country is a state based on law, so we just leave it to the law", he added.
