Democratic Party officials Kamhar Lakumani accused the KPK of summoning his party partner Andi Arief as an extension of the government against opposition groups. In response to that, NCP start talking.
Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri strongly denied Kamhar Lakumani’s accusations. Ali Fikri emphasized that the KPK does not discriminate in the law enforcement process.
“The KPK in handling every corruption case does not look at the socio-political background of the perpetrators but is purely law enforcement,” said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday (29/3/2022).
Ali added that the summoning of Andi Arief as a witness was part of the investigation process. Thus, there is no political element in the summons.
“Including when the investigation team summoned the witnesses in this case, of course there was no other purpose but because of the need for the process of investigating the case in question,” he explained.
Therefore, Ali reiterated that everyone who was summoned by the KPK had an obligation to attend. Because the summons is included in a series of legal processes.
“So whoever is called as a witness is obliged to attend to fulfill the summons because it is part of obedience to the legal process,” he added.
As previously reported, the elite of the Democratic Party, Kamhar Lakumani, confirmed that his party partner Andi Arif is a law-abiding person, including being cooperative if summoned by the KPK.
