DOK ANTARA

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairperson of the Gerindra Party, Habiburokhman, responded to the report on the former Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, who was reported to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) regarding the alleged receipt of cashback from the underwriter insurance company.

Habiburokhman reminded the KPK to be careful in handling the case. Do not let the KPK be accused of carrying out criminalization efforts against the presidential candidate number 3.

"The public has the right to report, yes, it's just that the KPK must also be careful in responding to all reports. Based on the evidence, the witnesses are complete because Pak Ganjar is one of the current political figures," said Habiburokhman, Wednesday, March 6.

"Do not let the report be linked with political matters. Moreover, for example, there are allegations of criminalizing Ganjar," he continued.

The Deputy Chairman of Commission III of the DPR invited the public to make reports of alleged corruption. It's just that, he said, the public must also give confidence so that the KPK actually examines it professionally.

Moreover, continued Habiburokhman, the political party that oversees Ganjar considers this reporting to contain political elements.

"That's why the KPK has to be careful. After all, we can't prevent people from making reports to anyone. So, please it's the right of citizens, but be careful not to get the impression of politicization," he concluded.

Meanwhile, the KPK ensured that the investigation into the alleged corruption could not be politicized, including when handling the report that dragged the former Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo. They don't care which party the presidential candidate number three came from.

This was conveyed by KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata in response to reports of alleged corruption at Bank Jateng submitted by the Chairman of Indonesia Police Watch (IPW) Sugeng Teguh Santoso. Ganjar was dragged along with one of the former Directors of PT Bank Jateng with the initials S.

"If we never saw whether there was a political element or not," Alexander told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, March 6.

"Is this red, yellow, green, gray, we don't see it like that," he continued.

Alexander ensured that his subordinates in the public complaint department would be professional. They will not differentiate cases per case because all incoming reports will be followed up.

"And I'm sure our staff below don't care what color people are," he said.

Previously reported, Ganjar was reported with the former Director of Bank Jateng with the initials S to the KPK by the Chairman of IPW Sugeng Teguh Santoso. There are allegations of cashback receipts from the underwriter insurance company that has not been reported.

Ganjar denied accepting gratuities or bribes as reported by Sugeng. He said, none of the money went into his pocket from Bank Jateng.

"I have never received gratification as he reported," said Ganjar when contacted by VOI via text message, Tuesday, March 5.
