JAKARTA - Papua Governor Lukas Enembe is considered more appropriate to be forcibly picked up by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) than sent by a team of doctors. The Indonesian Anti-Corruption Society (MAKI) said the move was more suitable to be taken.

"I think it should have been the first summons absent, immediately called the second, and if it doesn't come, it will be forcibly picked up," said MAKI Coordinator Boyamin Saiman in a voice statement quoted on Tuesday, October 25.

Boyamin said, anyone who was absent for no reason should be forcibly picked up twice. The health reason as stated by Lukas could not cancel the KPK took this step.

Moreover, forced pick-up did not violate any law. Lukas actually received treatment if the anti-corruption commission had been detained.

"If after all, the argument is that he was taken to the hospital for delivery, that should be the case," he said.

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 KPK Director of Enforcement Asep Guntur Rahayu. However, it was not specified when the team would leave.

Lukas Enembe 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.
