TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Spokesperson of Democratic party's central board (DPP) Rachland Nashidik stated that President Jokowi does not need to command Attorney General to investigate Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) regarding the content of fact-finding team’s report (TPF) on the murder case of human rights activist Munir Said Thalib.


The word on the sixth president’s investigation came up after the documents of fact-finding team’s reports were declared missing.


“He (Presiden Jokowi) can actually call and personally ask RI sixth president (SBY) by sharing good intention and conerns over the conclusion of Munir’s death,” Rachland said on Saturday (22/10).


Rachland claimed that President Jokowi has sent the wrong message that can smear one’s reputation if he assigns Attorney General. It’s because Attorney General holds supreme authority of criminal law. He affirmed that SBY established Munir’s TPF and played a major role in pursuing, revealing, and bringing suspects to court.
