Former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Agus Rahardjo, Tells President Jokowi's Anger when Shouting 'Stop' in the e-KTP Case of Setya Novanto.

Dream - Former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Agus Rahardjo, admitted that he was once called and asked by President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) to stop the corruption case of e-KTP that implicated Setya Novanto (Setnov). At that time, Setnov served as the Chairman of the House of Representatives and the Chairman of the Golkar Party, one of Jokowi's supporting political parties. He was announced as a suspect by the KPK on July 17, 2017. Before revealing the incident, Agus apologized and felt that everything should be clear.

"I think this is the first time I have expressed it in the media and then watched by many people. To be honest, when the e-KTP case, I was called alone by the president. At that time, the president was accompanied by Mr. Pratikno (Minister of State Secretary)."

Called to the Palace

At that time, Agus felt puzzled because usually the president calls all five leaders of the KPK at once. However, at that time he was only called alone. Agus was also asked to enter the Palace not through the press room but through the mosque route.

When entering the meeting room, Agus found Jokowi already angry. He was surprised and did not understand Jokowi's intention. After sitting down, he only understood that Jokowi asked for the case involving Setnov to be stopped by the KPK.

"President is already angry and wants it, because as soon as I entered, he said, 'stop!'. I was surprised, what was being stopped? After I sat down, I found out that what (Jokowi) instructed to stop was the case of Mr. Setnov."

"Reject Jokowi's Command"

However, Agus refused Jokowi's command. Because, the Investigation Commencement Order (Sprindik) for the e-KTP case with suspect Setnov had been issued three weeks earlier. Meanwhile, at that time, there was no mechanism for a Discontinuation of Investigation Order (SP3) in the KPK legal regulations.

"I speak as it is, that the investigation letter (Sprindik) has been issued by me three weeks ago at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), there is no termination letter (SP3), it is impossible for me to stop it."

word Agus.

“Saya bicara apa adanya saja bahwa Sprindik sudah saya keluarkan tiga minggu yang lalu di KPK itu enggak ada SP3, enggak mungkin saya memberhentikan itu.

In his statement, the President's Special Staff Coordinator, Ari Dwipayana, admitted to having checked the meeting mentioned by Agus Rahardjo. However, he said it was not in the president's agenda.

"After checking, there were no meetings mentioned in the president's agenda," said Ari, quoted from Kompas TV's YouTube channel. In reality, he said, Setya Novanto's case is progressing well in court. "And there has been a legally binding court decision," he added. According to him, Jokowi, in his official statement on November 17, 2017, firmly requested Setnov to follow the legal process at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as he has been designated as a corruption suspect in the e-KTP project."

The corruption case of the e-KTP mega project is suspected to be caused by the tweets of the former General Treasurer of the Democratic Party (PD), Muhammad Nazaruddin. Due to this corruption, the country suffered losses amounting to Rp2.3 trillion. Setya Novanto's name has been mentioned from the beginning as being involved in the e-KTP corruption case. However, the involvement of the former Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) became stronger after his name was mentioned in the first trial of the case with Sugiharto and Irman as defendants. Setya Novanto was proven to have intervened in the budgeting process as well as the procurement of goods and services in the e-KTP project. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison and fined Rp500 million or 3 months of imprisonment.
