20 April 2017 16:14 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Drajat Wisnu Setya, the head of Procurement of Goods and Services for the Home Affairs Ministry said in the electronic identity cards or e-KTP graft trial that he had delivered bribe money to a member of the House of Representatives (DPR). Drajat said that he was only complying with an instruction of Irman, the director general of the population and civil registry for the Home Affairs Ministry.
Drajat did not mention the beneficiary’s name. According to him, Irman only gave an address of a house at a DPR housing complex in Kalibata, South Jakarta.
“I was given an address [of the house] at the DPR complex across a railway in Kalibata. I don’t know the name [of the beneficiary]. I was instructed to deliver a package,” he said in his testimony in the e-KTP graft trial against defendants Irman and Sugiharto at the Corruption Court in Jakarta on Thursday, April 20, 2017.
Drajat said that upon arriving at the house, he did not meet the person in question. He said that he only met a lady, who he believed was the house owner.
The public prosecutors promptly grilled Drajat about the name of the house owner. “Who was the beneficiary? How could you look for an address but didn’t know the owner’s name?” public prosecutor Abdul Basir asked Drajat.
Drajat still refused to mention the name the individual. He insisted that Irman had intentionally obscured the house owner’s name to prevent anyone from knowing it. “I was not informed about the name,” he said.
The prosecutors later named a house member. “Ade Komarudin?” prosecutor Abdul Basir said. “I was not aware that the house belonged to Pak Ade Komarudin,” Drajat answered.
