JAKARTA - Former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo or SYL is said to have sent flowers and cakes to Nayunda Nabila's singer as a birthday present (Ultah) This fact was revealed based on information from the Protocol of the Minister of Agriculture, Rininta Octarini who was presented as a witness in the trial of the alleged extortion and acceptance of gratuities on Monday, May 27. It started when the Public Prosecutor (JPU) asked whether there was a request for SYL to send goods to other people, apart from his family. "Apart from the ministers and Mrs. Tita, are there any other family or relatives who were witnesses asked to send goods or money. Does that mean outside the family?" asked the prosecutor during a trial at the Corruption Court at the Central Jakarta District Court. Rini had mentioned that there was no such request. However, the answer changed when the prosecutor mentioned Nayunda's name. "The witness knows his name Nayunda?" asked the prosecutor. "You know," replied Rini. "Have you ever been asked to send the shape of the item, what is the wreath, cake?" said the prosecutor. "Ever," said Rini. "Who asked to send it?" said the prosecutor confirmed. "Mr. Minister," replied Rini. Hearing this testimony, the prosecutor began to explore the source of the money used to buy the wreath and cake. Rini said that the payment was requested to the Leadership Household or RTP. However, he did not remember the nominal "I asked the RTP, the leader's household," said Rini. "How much value is this sending cakes and flowers?" asked the prosecutor. "I don't remember exactly the table wreath and birthday cake," said Rini. Then, the prosecutor questioned SYL's intent and purpose in sending the wreath and cake. However, Rini said she didn't know about it. It's just that, as far as she remembered, the gift was in the context of the singer's birthday.

"At that time, Mr. SYL asked to send cakes and flowers for what?" asked the prosecutor. "As far as I remember Nayunda's birthday," said Rini.
