JAKARTA - Commission III of the House of Representatives pays attention to the case of Alex Denni, a convicted corruptor who was recently arrested by the prosecutor's office after 11 years of release, and even occupies several classy positions. This case slapped the government because Alex Denni had been a deputy in one of the ministries during his escape.

Member of Commission III of the DPR Didik Mukrianto assessed that the case could injure the public's sense of justice and damage the morality of the Government. In addition, it also has the potential to violate statutory regulations.

"In the perspective of justice, of course there is a sense of public justice that is difficult for public reason and logic to accept, considering that corruption convicts have only been sentenced to criminal prosecution after 11 years of inkracht," said Didik, Friday, August 2.

Alex Denni, who had served as Deputy for Human Resources for Apparatus at the Ministry of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN-RB), was arrested by the Bandung City Kejari at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Banten, after landing in Indonesia after flying from Italy on Thursday (18/7) night.

Alex Denni was arrested after 11 years of approaching Buana with the status of a convict for the corruption case in the project for the procurement of consulting services for the analysis of PT Telkom's personal or manual job (DJM) for the 2003 fiscal year. Despite fighting to the cassation level in 2013, his efforts still ended in vain.

After the cassation decision in 2013, the Bandung City Prosecutor's Office had sent summons 3 times but Alex Denni was always absent. Surprisingly there has never been an attempt to forcefully execute law enforcement because since the inkrah court's decision, Alex Denni has never been detained.

Didik also questioned this and asked the Supreme Court (MA) as the termination of the cassation and the prosecutor's office as the prosecution as well as the executor to conduct an evaluation.

"It is important for law enforcers, especially the Supreme Court and the Attorney General's Office to evaluate and improve more measurable governance related to the execution of the convict, especially the convict of corruption, because it injures the public's sense of justice," said the East Java IX electoral district legislator.

The case of Alex Denni is also considered to have to be a warning for the Government to really check the track record of prospective officials for state agencies.

"This is not only an important lesson, but also a strong alarm in terms of integrity, morality, governance and accountability of government administration, including the implementation of SOEs," explained Didik.

Within 11 years of being convicted of corruption without serving a sentence, Alex Denni is known to have succeeded in having a fairly great job in the government. The last position held by Alex Denni was as Deputy for Human Resources for Apparatus at the Ministry of PAN-RB in 2023. Prior to that, he was also appointed Deputy for Human Resources at the Ministry of SOEs in 2020.

It is also known that Alex Denni has served in several important positions in a number of institutions. Alex Denni's track record was said to have only been detected when he wanted to register for an open selection for one of the positions at the Ministry of Education and Culture. In the fit and proper test stage, Alex Denni's status was exposed as a convict who had not yet served a period of detention.

Didik menilai sebenarnya aksi pengulakuan' Alex Denni terhadap statusnya tidak-lah masuk. Ia juga menilai ada potensi pelanggaran peraturan perundang-undangan mengingat Alex Denni pernah menduduki beberapa jabatan di Pemerintahan dan BUMN.

"In the perspective of governance and accountability in government management, it is not only difficult to accept common sense because convicted corruptors can hold important positions in SOEs, but this also violates the principles and arrangements of laws and regulations," explained the member. Banggar DPR.

Furthermore, Didik advised all government agencies and institutions to double check the background of human resources that will take office. Moreover, the occupied position can take important policies on state governance or related to the benefit of the people.

"For whatever reason, this condition is very concerning for all of us, especially in our portraits of law enforcement and justice, as well as governance and accountability in the administration of a clean and corruption-free government," concluded Didik.
