The KPK EMPHASIZED That Firli Did Not Have Any Promises From Firli To Lukas Enembe

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has ensured that no promises have been made by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. Moreover, the KPK claims that it is impossible for one leader to make his own decisions in an effort to take action.

"We need to clarify this, the meeting in Papua at the suspect's residence was carried out openly. The KPK itself and LE were present," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, February 2.

Ali ensured that there was no clan between Firli and Lukas like the narrative of a team of lawyers. "There are Polda, BIN, from the regions, from the Kodam, everything is there. There is no special discussion," he said.

The KPK admits that it is confused by the narrative conveyed by Lukas' lawyer if it seems as if there is an agreement in the dark room. Ali reminded that the work of the head of the anti-corruption commission cannot only be decided by one person but must be collegial.

In addition, Firli's decision to come to Lukas' house in Jayapura, Papua was also based on the laws and regulations. "There is a legal basis, Article 13 of the Criminal Code," he said.

Lukas Enembe wrote to Firli Bahuri in his own hand. He asked for his promise by writing.

"Yes (sending a letter, red). Mr. Lukas himself wrote it," said lawyer Lukas Enembe when confirmed in Jakarta, Wednesday, February 1.

Petrus said the letter was received by the legal team on Tuesday, January 31. "The point is to collect Mr. Firli's promise," he quoted Lukas as saying.

It was not specified what promise. However, Petrus confirmed that the letter had been submitted to the KPK.

Meanwhile, VOI has tried to contact Firli Bahuri to confirm the promises and letters sent by Lukas. However, the short messages sent have not been answered.

Previously, Lukas was a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification for allegedly receiving money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka. The gift was made so that the private company got a project in Papua.

The KPK said that there was a 14 percent agreement on the value of the contract and payments must be free of tax deductions.

After agreeing, Rijantono's company got three projects. The first is the improvement of Jalan Entrop-Hamadi with a project value of IDR 14.8 billion.

Rehabilitation of facilities and infrastructure supporting PAUD Integration with a project value of IDR 13.3 billion. Finally, the venue environmental planning project developed outdoor AURI with a project value of IDR 12.9 billion.

After the project was won, Rijantono handed over Rp1 billion to Lukas. In addition, Lukas is also suspected of receiving gratuities of up to tens of billions that have just been investigated by the KPK.

Apart from Lukas, the KPK suspects that there are officials who play in accepting bribes and gratuities. However, investigators are still investigating.
