JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan finally opened his voice about the fate of the permit for the operation of Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT), an institution suspected of misappropriating donated funds by high-ranking officials.
Operational activity permits in the form of registration marks for social foundations and permits for ACT foundation activities are issued by the DKI Jakarta Office of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (DPMPTSP).
ACT's Operational Activity Permit from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government was issued in letter number 155/F 3/31.74.04.1003/-1.848/e/2019 which is valid until February 25, 2024.
Responding to the call to the DKI Provincial Government to revoke the permit for ACT's operational activities, Anies said that his party is still waiting for the results of the investigation from the police on this case, before the DKI Provincial Government evaluates to revoke the permit if misappropriation of public funds is proven.
"Let the legal process run. We respect the legal process, especially the audit process. Let the legal rules be our reference. So, we want to respect law enforcement officials, respect audit officers who are carrying out the process, and only take action after there are conclusions," said Anies on Sunday, July 10.
Anies' attitude is different from the response of the central government, in this case, the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) which has revoked the ACT Money and Goods Collection (PUB) permit in 2022 due to alleged violations of regulations.
Anies said that the investigation into the case of alleged embezzlement of donations which is currently being investigated by the police prior to the revocation of the permit for operational activities is the right procedure. This is because the DKI Provincial Government acts according to valid data.
"That's the procedure. In fact, if we act before there is data, before there is a complete conclusion, later we might judge based on opinions," explained Anies.

"We as state administrators must take a responsible attitude. One of the responsible attitudes is to make data-based decisions, based on completeness of information," he continued.
Currently, the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police has intervened to investigate allegations of misappropriation of funds or donations by the charity Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT).
The National Police said that there are several allegations being investigated regarding the charity Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT). Starting from the alleged misuse of funds to transactions that lead to the interests of illicit activities.
"(Investigation, red) The use of the donated funds is suspected by the ACT foundation to misuse the funds for the personal interests of all the foundation's administrators," said Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, to reporters, Friday, July 8.
There are also allegations of indications of transactions or the use of people's funds that lead to prohibited activities or terrorism.
The two allegations are information reports obtained from the Financial Transaction and Analysis Reporting Center (PPATK). Therefore, this is the basis for conducting an investigation.
Bareksrim Polri has examined 4 people in handling the ACT case, including ACT President Ibnu Khajar and former ACT President Ahyudin. The examination of the four ACT officials was to investigate allegations of misappropriation of public funds for personal gain.
The Bareskrim Polri is also investigating allegations of misappropriation of aid funds by ACT officials to be distributed to the heirs of the victims of the Lion Air JT-610 plane crash that occurred in 2018.
The misappropriation of social funds originating from the Boeing aircraft factory was allegedly carried out by ACT management, namely former ACT President Ahyudin and ACT President Ibnu Khajar.
Both are suspected of misusing some of the social funds for their personal interests in the form of paying salaries and personal facilities.
"Of course these allegations will be explored and investigated. It is still in the investigation stage," said Ramadhan.
