JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep was riding or carrying a personal jet of his friend with the initials Y to launch to the United States (US).

This was conveyed by the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK Pahala Nainggolan after Kaesang reported the use of private jet facilities when he traveled to the United States with his wife, Erina Gudono. The report was submitted to the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 17.

"The initials Y (friend who was traveling with Kaesang, ed)," Pahala told reporters at the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 17.

"But we don't know, it's true that the full name is, whether Indonesian citizens are foreigners or what," he continued.

In the future, Pahala said that the initial Y could be confirmed by the Directorate of KPK Gratification. However, everything depends on the need.

"We'll see, we'll see if it's true. We'll confirm for sure," he said.

As previously reported, the Chairman of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Kaesang Pangarep said he had explained about the use of the private jet facilities he used when he made a trip to the United States with his wife, Erina Gudono. He claims that he took a plane belonging to his friend.

"I conveyed information about my trip to the US who was riding or accompanying a friend of mine," Kaesang told reporters at the ACLC KPK building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta, Tuesday, September 17.

Kaesang also said that he had asked the KPK for advice regarding allegations that he had received gratuities from other parties. So, he took the initiative to go to the KPK.

The youngest son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said he did not get a call. "My arrival today to the KPK is because of personal initiative as a good citizen," he said.

"Not because of a written summons or invitation from the KPK even though I am not an official or state administrator," he concluded.
