JAKARTA - University of Indonesia (UI) criminal law expert Ganjar Laksmana Bonaprapta assessed that KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron was misguided.

This was conveyed by him referring to Ghufron's statement that the provision of private jet facilities to Kaesang Pangarep was not related to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). One of the reasons is because the General Chairperson of the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) is an adult and has his own family.

"In law, there has never been a history of certain legal consequences due to separating family cards. There has never been one," Bondan told reporters in Jakarta quoted on Thursday, November 7.

"... So the issue of separating this family card I don't know who taught, who started it, this is misleading," he continued.

Ganjar said that Kaesang is the core family of President Jokowi. Even though it is separate, the context should not shift to administrative matters.

"That's why I say this, the keyword is family relationship. Especially the nuclear family whether they want to be separated or not, their family card is separated. Maybe they separate their family cards but one house. Tomorrow they will be separated again because they have separated their families and separated their homes. There are various things, later the separation," he said.

Furthermore, Ganjar also said that Kaesang could also not have received private jet facilities if it was not the son of President Jokowi. "If it wasn't his son, if it wasn't his husband, otherwise his wife would not have received it. That's perfect with the meaning of gratification. Be kind to the officials, including the family," he said.

As previously reported, the General Chairperson of PSI who is also the son of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), Kaesang Pangarep, had conveyed to the KPK about the use of the private jet facilities he used when pledir to the United States with his wife, Erina Gudono on Tuesday, September 17. He claims that he took a plane belonging to his friend.

Regarding this report, the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, said that the follow-up cannot be carried out by his institution. Kaesang was declared not to have received gratuities because he was not a state administrator and had been separated from his parents.

"That the person concerned is not a state administrator, has been separated from his parents, the deputy for prevention said that this is not gratification," Ghufron told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, November 1.

Ghufron said that the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring in charge of reporting on Kaesang's gratification had already conducted a study. From this process, then the official memorandum was sent to the head of the anti-corruption commission.

"Kasus seperti ini, KPK sebelumnya telah menerima ada tiga kali. Misalnya, Boyamin (Kordinator MAKI, Boyamin Saiman) menyampaikan ke KPK (perhal penerimaan gratifikasi, red) tetapi karena dia bukan penyelenggara negara maka tidak dapat ditetapkan KPK statusnya sebagai gratifikasi atau tidak," tegasnya.

"Also a private doctor has received it from a patient. However, because the doctor is private, the KPK has decided not to be designated as gratification or not," continued Ghufron.
