JAKARTA - Executive Director of the Institite for Security and Strategic Studies (ISESS) Khairul Fahmi said there were efforts to make South Grogol Urban Village Head Asep Subuhan the scapegoat for Djoko Tjandra's electronic KTP (e-KTP).

"If only the head of the village is blamed and given special measures because of the breach of surveillance of fugitive Djoko Tjandra, it seems that he is looking for a scapegoat," said Khairul when contacted by VOI, Santu, July 11.

According to Khairul, Asep could not have known that Djoko Tjandra was on the wanted list (DPO). Therefore, Djoko is still being served. However, if the village head knew about the case and helped smooth the making of Djoko Tjandra's e-KTP, he would not be "playing" alone.

"If the headman knows that the person concerned is a DPO, it means that he is naive and ridiculous if he does it without orders or intervention from other parties. He will not dare to take the risk himself," said Khairul.

He said, the question was, why did the Director General of Immigration at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights not detect Djoko Tjandra's arrival in Indonesia and could even come to the government office to make a KTP.

Supposedly, the ones most responsible for the escape of Djoko Tjandra were the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and law enforcement agencies such as the police and the prosecutor's office who handled the case.

"We have a surveillance and law enforcement device that monitors at any time. How can they not be able to monitor the movement of a fugitive so that he can make a KTP in the village. For me this is embarrassing," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of South Jakarta Population and Civil Registration (Dukcapil) Sub-Department Abdul Harris stated that the urban village office could not detect people as DPOs because there was no such information in the e-KTP system.

"There is no biodata item that states that this person is a DPO. Moreover, the database system applies nationally, right," said Abdul.

As is known, suddenly Djoko Tjandra made a scene in this country again. Djoko Tjandra has been a fugitive in the Cessie Bank Bali case since 2009. After being slippery like an eel, Joko shocked the public again because he was known to have entered Indonesia and filed a Judicial Review (PK) regarding his case at the South Jakarta District Court.

Djoko also had time to apply for an e-KTP. It turns out that Djoko's e-KTP can be issued as fast as 'lightning'. This case put Asep Subhan, Head of South Grogol Urban Village and the Director General of Population and Civil Registration, Zudan Arif Fakhrullah in the spotlight.
