Never Attend A Plenary Meeting, Azis Syamsuddin Now Often At Home

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Parliament (DPR), Azis Syamsuddin, was again missing at the plenary session today, Tuesday, May 25. This is the third time that Azis has been absent from attending the plenary session after reports were suspected of being involved in the Tanjung Balai case.

Previously, he was diligent in leading plenary meetings. Now, Azis has not been seen since the opening of the trial period on May 6 and May 20, 2021.

So where is Azis Syamsuddin?

Chairman of the Golkar Party's DPP Law and Human Rights Advocacy Agency, Supriansa, revealed that Azis is now rarely seen in Parliament.

According to him, currently, the deputy chairman of the Golkar Party is still in Jakarta. Supriansa admitted that he had not met Azis until today.

"I heard from a friend a few days ago that he was at the official residence and now he is often at his house, he said", Supriansa told reporters at the DPR, Tuesday, May 25.

However, he said, he had not personally received any news about Azis' reasons for never attending a plenary session again.

"I have not received any news from the person concerned why he has never been present at the plenary sessions which have been running three times since the opening of this trial period", he said.

Today, Azis Syamsuddin has finished testifying in the ethics trial. He became one of the witnesses at a trial held by the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) regarding the alleged violation of the code of ethics that ensnared an investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju.

After undergoing a closed trial, Azis said that he would follow the ongoing process. The Golkar Party politician was summoned because he was suspected of introducing M Syahrial to Stepanus. However, Azis was reluctant to provide further information regarding this case.

"I just followed the existing process", he told reporters before leaving the KPK Supervisory Board office, Rasuna Said Street, South Jakarta, Tuesday, May 25.

Stepanus allegedly violated the code of ethics after becoming a suspect in accepting bribes from the Mayor of Tanjung Balai M Syahrial. Money was given so that the investigation of cases in Tanjung Balai City would not continue or be stopped.
