JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensures that the departure of KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri checks the condition of Papua Governor Lukas Enembe in Jayapura does not violate ethics. Firli is also said to have not had to report the activity.

"In the context of carrying out the task, it is not prohibited (meeting, ed)," said member of the KPK Supervisory Board Albertina Ho to reporters, Monday, October 24.

Based on the code of ethics, the KPK leadership is prohibited from meeting parties whose alleged corruption is being investigated. However, Albertina considers the context of the meeting between Firli and Lukas to be different.

Firli is said to be going to directly monitor Lukas' condition so that requests for information related to alleged corruption can be carried out immediately. "What is important is in the context of carrying out the task," said Albertina.

"If it's not banned, there's no need for permission," he continued.

As previously reported, the KPK said it would soon form a team that would be dispatched to Jayapura, Papua to check the condition of Lukas Enembe. The team will be filled by an independent team of doctors.

Meanwhile, Papua Governor Lukas Enembe's attorney, Roy Rening, confirmed that IDI's independent team would examine his client in Jayapura. He even claimed that KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri would go there.

Roy received information that Firli would go to Jayapura from the Director of KPK Enforcement Asep Guntur Rahayu. However, it was not specified when the team would leave.

For information, Lukas has been named a suspect by the KPK. However, the case that ensnared him has not been detailed.

Lukas will actually be questioned on Monday, September 26 at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. However, the examination was failed because Lukas admitted he was sick and could not provide information.

Furthermore, the KPK will return to make summons that have not been informed for sure. Lukas was asked to cooperate in fulfilling the training of KPK investigators because his statement was needed to make clear the allegations of corruption that occurred.
