JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Legal And Security Politics (Menko Polhukam) Mahfud MD ensures the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance BillIng Rights Task Force (BLBI) will be transparent in carrying out its duties. The Task Force team will deliver the results of the performance at the same time to fulfill the rights of the community.

"It must be transparent because it's people's right to know. Later there will be summonses then will be announced the money, how much bsisa immediately executed is how big. We will be transparent to the public," Mahfud said in his video statement to reporters Monday, April 12.

He then explained that the money to be collected in this case amounted to around Rp109 trillion. "It's in the form of a building certificate but the goods may not be in accordance with the certificate," he said.

"There is a new affidavit but the transfer document has not been submitted to the state, has not been signed even though it has been called because there are still criminal allegations and so on," added the former Chairman of the Constitutional Court (MK).

Mahfud MD said the value of the building could have risen since it was used as a guarantee to the state. Thus, this will lead to an interpretation of whether it is a guarantee of credit settlement or the asset is controlled by the state.

Going forward, his team will seek certainty in advance regarding the asset. "Well, those kinds of things have to be clear in their legal positions," he said.

Mafud called the case of SKL BLBI is waste or relics from the past. Because, this incident took place in 1998 where the situation of monetary crisis occurred in the country.

"Where the bank should be saved, well, after the bank was saved and then given the funds in 2004 it had to be resolved and that's where the person who got the certificate was paid off," he said.

"So it's been a long time, we're just in charge of continuing not being here to protect people, cornering people, nothing," Mahfud said.
