Johanis also ensured that the meeting never took place on Friday, July 28 or after the KPK held a meeting with the TNI to discuss the determination of the suspect Kabasarnas Marshal Henri Alfiandi. Because, after that activity he immediately carried out other activities outside the office.

"After the meeting with the TNI and after the doorstop, I immediately went to practice shooting," he said.
