JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will give permission to Papua Governor Lukas Enembe for treatment abroad. However, he must be a prisoner first. "We can actually facilitate the person concerned (medital, ed). But, yes, that was the status, he must be a KPK detainee," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, Wednesday, September 14. Alexander ensured that the anti-corruption commission would facilitate the health of its detainees. Thus, it is certain that he can seek treatment if he needs medical assistance in accordance with the recommendations of doctors from the KPK. "When the person concerned stated that he wanted to seek treatment, we would coordinate with doctors, such as RSPAD or RSCM doctors," he said. However, the KPK will not immediately send Lukas for treatment abroad. An examination is certain to be carried out domestically. If it cannot be treated in the country, Lukas will only be taken abroad. However, this step must also be approved by a doctor from the KPK. "If you can't do it in Indonesia, you have to go abroad, we will definitely facilitate it with the recommendation of the doctor earlier, for example, a doctor in Indonesia surrenders, 'duh, you can't treat it, sir', we will definitely facilitate this (medical abroad, ed). Of course we will guard the person concerned, yes," said Alexander. Previously reported, Papua Governor Lukas Enembe asked to be allowed to seek treatment in Singapore after being prevented from going abroad. His departure was carried out to check his health. Lukas Enembe's attorney, Aloysius Renwarin, said his client was in an unwell condition. The feet are swollen so health care is needed. "According to the results of the examination here, he (Lukas Enembe) is sick. He must be examined, treated to Singapore or anywhere else," Aloysius told reporters, Tuesday, September 13. Aloysius revealed that his party is currently seeking permission from the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the KPK. He guaranteed that Lukas would not run away. For information, Lukas has been named a suspect. This determination is based on complaints from the public. The case that ensnared Lukas has not been detailed. However, he has been prevented from going abroad for six months.
