JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR) Fadli Zon, who is also a politician from Prabowo Subianto’s Gerindra Party, will soon file a counter report against the lawmakers who reported him to the House Honorary Council (MKD), Kompas.com reported this morning (Sep. 8).
Fadli told Kompas.com that there is nothing wrong with his attendance at the campaign event of Republican presidential candidate nominee Donald Trump while visiting the city of New York, United States of America.
Fadli said the meeting with Donald Trump was just accidental. Fadli claimed that he and Setya Novanto of Golkar discussed with Donald Trump about his investment plan in Bali and Bogor.
As reported earlier, Fadli Zon and Setya Novanto have been target of criticism from observers and people following their controversial attendance at a press event, which was set as a part of Donald Trump’s presidential nomination campaign event.
Yesterday, the MKD DPR has agreed to start conducting official examination over Setya Novanto and Fadli Zon. In addition, 7 lawmakers from PDI-P, PKB, Hanura, and PPP have filed a complaint against Novanto and Fadli for allegation of committing ethical violation. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
