DPR Speaker Puan Maharani/DOK DPR

JAKARTA - DPR Speaker Puan Maharani asked the DPR MKD to name two members of the DPR who were reported to be involved in online gambling. This is so that there will be no slander against other DPR members.

"Yes, if there is, name it," said Puan, Tuesday, July 2.

"So that there is no slander," he continued.

Previously, the DPR MKD received an official letter regarding the report of a member of the DPR who was involved in online gambling from the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Hadi Tjahjanto, as the Head of the Online Judi Eradication Task Force.

Not 82 people, according to the PPATK report, MKD said that only two members of the DPR were involved in online gambling, as well as 58 employees who worked within the DPR.

"Today we received an official letter from the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs as chairman of the online gambling task force. So it turns out that after the official letter was studied, two members of the House of Representatives (DPR) were reported to be playing gambling, suspected yes, and a number of employees rather than the DPR RI, around 58," said the Chairman of the MKD DPR, Adang Daradjatun, Tuesday, July 2.

The two members of the DPR, said Adang, are also still suspected perpetrators of judol. MKD will still explore the role of these two members.

"Meanwhile, we are still suspected, therefore we will investigate. So the two members of the DPR RI who were officially reported this morning," he said.

Deputy Chairman of the MKD, Habiburokhman, explained that in the statement of the letter submitted by PPATK, 58 people were written as working in the DPR. So according to him, the 58 people are believed to be staff.

"58 people are staff, employees, so it is not necessarily members of the DPR RI. Indeed, there are two members of the DPR RI, that is also suspected, we will first investigate and clarify to the person concerned," he said.
