“The information we have is that Lukas Enembe was taken to the RSPAD only for outpatient treatment on the recommendation of the KPK doctor. So far there are no urgent situations,” said Head of KPK Reporting Unit Ali Fikri when asked for confirmation.

Ali explained that Lukas would later undergo a doctor’s examination at the RSPAD. “The person concerned needs a doctor’s consultation and examination regarding the replacement and addition of the required medicines,” Ali concluded.

Meanwhile, KPK deputy chairman Alexander Marawata said the KPK would facilitate the treatment of Lukas Enembe in the country, such as at the RSPAD. However, if Lukas applies for treatment abroad, Alex said that for now the KPK is still unable to facilitate it.
