ILLUSTRATION BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has ensured that the political year will not affect their performance. All are asked to stop narratives and accusations based solely on assumptions.

This was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri in response to allegations by former Deputy Minister of Law and Human Rights Denny Indrayana in the midst of an investigation into alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).

"We are very aware that everything that the KPK is doing at this time will always be linked to politics. However, we will not be affected," Ali told reporters, Wednesday, June 14.

The KPK understands that its work will recently be linked to politics. "But we also have to remind you to stop the narrative of this assumption," he said.

It is certain that each suspect determination by the KPK will be based on completing evidence and can be accounted for in court. "There have been many examples of cases that have always been narrated against criminalization and politics," said Ali.

"However, it is not proven that it is only the assumption of certain parties with the upper rank," he continued.

In the circulating message, it was stated that the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo along with two of his subordinates, KSD and HTA were also involved in this alleged corruption. This investigation is said to have been running since January 16.

This message was sent together with the Instagram account link @pedeoproject. It was mentioned there that the criminal acts investigated were Article 12E and/or Article 12B concerning Amendments to Law 31 of 1999 and Article 3 of Law Number 8 concerning TPPU in conjunction with Article 56 and 55 paragraph 1 1 of the Criminal Code.

Responding to this, Denny Indrayana said that the KPK was a tool to disrupt the Change Coalition that carried Anies Baswedan in the 2024 presidential election. Meanwhile, NasDem became one of the parties that joined and Syahrul was a cadre.

Even so, he said this disturbance would not affect but further strengthen NasDem's position. Surya Paloh as chairman of the party is also claimed Denny will not be affected by the emerging issues.
