Jakarta –
Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming’s TKN elite, Habiburokhman, touched on corruption fugitive Harun Masiku as vice presidential candidate number 3 and Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud Md highlighting the corruption perception index (IPK) in Indonesia of 3.4. Director of Law and Studies of the TPN Ganjar-Mahfud Legal Team, Ronny Talapessy, responded by alluding to OTT against former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Edhy Prabowo.
“With his experience as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Mr. Mahfud really understands where the weak points need to be fixed in eradicating corruption. If we are not able to identify the problem, it will not be possible to overcome the problem,” said Ronny, to journalists, Monday (11/12/ 2023).
“The corruption eradication program is work that must continuously be improved, strengthened by this nation. That is Mr Ganjar-Mahfud’s concern. What is good is being perfected, we are fixing what is not good,” he continued.

Ronny said that corruptors have many tricks. So, he continued, evaluating corruption eradication programs is a normal thing.
“If the evaluation is just to map weaknesses in the fight against corruption, that means you are satisfied with the current achievements? In fact, in fact we have a low report card,” said Ronny.
He considered Mahfud’s statement to be correct. According to him, the public can assess and sort information critically.
“When the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Edhy Prabowo, was OTTed by the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK), the public did not necessarily think it was because of Mr. Mahfud, but rather the collective work that should have been done by all ministries and institutions under his coordination,” he explained.
He asked Gerindra politician Habiburokhman to look more critically at Mahfud’s statement. He believes that as a member of the Council, he should not be quickly satisfied with the Indonesian GPA.
“So, I think Mas Habiburokhman can look more critically at Mr Mahfud’s statement. As a people’s representative who handles legal issues including corruption issues in the DPR, don’t be quickly satisfied with the Corruption Perception Index which is still 3.4 as it is now,” he said.
Previously, Gerindra Party Vice Chairman Habiburokhman considered Mahfud’s statement as an admission that Mahfud had not graduated as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs. He brought up Mahfud’s statement that his performance was different from the previous Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs. However, Habiburokhman questioned Mahfud’s role in eradicating corruption.
“This means that he admitted himself that he did not pass because his position was as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs,” he said.
“Because he can intervene directly to solve legal problems. So why doesn’t he intervene directly to improve the field of eradicating corruption?” he said.
Habiburokhman then brought up the fugitive in the corruption case, Harun Masiku, who is still being sought by the KPK. Harun Masiku is said to be able to enter and exit the country, even though the supervision is part of immigration under the coordination of Mahfud as Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs.
“Perhaps he can explain cases that have attracted public attention, such as Harun Masiku, for example. How people who have been wanted by law enforcement can leave and enter through immigration. We know that the Directorate General of Immigration is under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and is coordinated by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs ,” he added.
