TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - New Attorney General Prasetyo denied that he is a mere pawn of the National Democrat (NasDem) Party chairman. "There was no political agenda at all directed to me," he said.
Prasetyo claimed that Surya Paloh will not intervene his work as an Attorney General. "He did not ask for back up," he said. Moreover, Prasetyo claimed said that he will assertively put those of NasDem behind bars, shall they be proven guilty.
As upon questioned why he came to see Surya Paloh before being appointed, Prasetyo said that it was a mere farewell. "It is like meeting your Chief Editor, no big deal," he said.
