Apart from that, in a joking tone, he thought that Indonesia must be unlucky. This is because the anti-corruption agency is headed by a figure Alexander Marwata.
“Actually I think it is our country that is unfortunate, Alexander Marwata sitting in the KPK chair,” he continued in the tweet.
As previously reported, KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said those caught in OTT activities were simply unlucky. He felt the OTT incident was not extraordinary.
“How come I still feel that people who are then caught in the act or in corruption cases are unfortunate accidents, not extraordinary ones. It’s just bad luck,” said Alexander Marwata as quoted by the Finance Ministry’s official YouTube account on Tuesday (13 /12 ).
Alex said that many parties have engaged in bribery. However, according to Alex, those who weren’t caught were more thorough in hiding their wealth.
“Actually others behave in the same way, only they are more orderly in hiding. In performing actions and hiding their wealth, it is more orderly,” he concluded.
