Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) is said to be facing towards President Jokowi at the Presidential Palace, Jakarta on Thursday (5/10).
This was conveyed by Syahrul’s attorney, Febri Diansyah.
“I was asked to convey that tomorrow the Minister of Agriculture will go to the Palace to meet the President,” said Febri at the NasDem Tower, Central Jakarta, Thursday (5/10) early morning.
Febri was reluctant to reveal Syahrul’s purpose in facing Jokowi. He did not answer when asked whether the meeting was related to the news of Syahrul’s resignation.
“What we were told earlier was that tomorrow the President will meet with the President at the Palace, so that is what we can only confirm and convey today,” he said.
Syahrul was previously said to have been named a suspect by the Corruption Eradication Committee (KPK) in a case of alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture.
Syahrul’s two houses in Jakarta and Makassar have also been searched by anti-corruption agencies.
NasDem denied the news of Syahrul’s “disappearance” as an attempt to escape. Syahrul is said to have separated from the group to undergo treatment for prostate disease.
He just returned to Jakarta today and immediately met Surya Paloh at the DPP NasDem Office in Central Jakarta.
