JAKARTA, The Indonesia Post – President Joko Widodo spoke out related to the polemic on the release of corruption prisoners. According to Jokowi, I never even thought about it.
The firm statement was delivered directly by President Jokowi chairing a limited meeting, via teleconference from the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday (6/4/2020). “Parole is only for convicts of general criminal offenses. What purpose? In an effort to reduce the risk of Corona virus spread (Covid-19). So, I am very firm to say that the plan to release the Corruptor Prisoner was never discussed, “Jokowi said firmly.
In discussing parole of prisoners of general criminal offenses, continued Jokowi, his government also had no discourse to revise Government Regulation (PP) Number 99 of 2012 concerning the Requirements and Procedures for the Implementation of Prisoners’ Rights in Corruption, especially regarding the release of convicts of criminal acts of corruption.
“In all government meetings, we never discussed corrupt prisoners. PP Revision 99 of 2012 there is no revision regarding corruption inmates. Even the release of prisoners of general criminal offenses is not free, but there are conditions, criteria and supervision, “Jokowi explained. (Agus/bbs).
