JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) asked Papua Governor Lukas Enembe to respect the summons of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Lukas was summoned by the KPK to undergo an examination related to the alleged bribery case in the Papua APBD.

"I have conveyed that everyone respects the KPK's summons and respects the legal process at the KPK. Everything," said Jokowi at the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base Ops Base, Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Monday, September 26.

Jokowi emphasized that all citizens have the same position in the eyes of the law. "I think the legal process at the KPK must all be respected. Everything is the same in the eyes of the law," he said.

The anti-corruption agency summoned Lukas Enembe as a suspect to undergo an examination at the KPK building, Jakarta, on Monday, September 26.

"Today, the summons and examination of the suspect LE. Examination at the Indonesian KPK Office, South Jakarta," said Head of the KPK News Section, Ali Fikri.

The KPK, said Ali, ensures that the investigation process carried out against Lukas Enembe will be in accordance with the corridors and legal procedures, namely by upholding the principle of presumption of innocence and human rights.

"This legal compliance is certainly not only for the KPK to follow, but also for parties who are examined so that the process can run effectively and efficiently," said Ali in his statement on Saturday, September 24.

Therefore, he continued, the reason for the absence of Lukas Enembe due to health must of course also be accompanied by official documents from medical personnel so that the KPK can analyze further.

He revealed that the KPK also has special medical personnel in conducting examinations of witnesses or suspects called by the KPK.

Not only this time, as previously known, the KPK has also provided several opportunities and provided health facilities for witnesses and suspects in other cases.
