JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Ruhut Sitompul, an executive and spokesperson of President SBY’s Democratic Party, welcomes people to cut off his neck if SBY’s youngest son, Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono aka Ibas, if later being proven guilty for corruption act.
Ruhut earlier said he would resign from the House of Representatives (DPR) if the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) would summon Ibas. Gerhard Marteen Rumeser, a Deputy at the powerful oil regulatory body SKK Migas, confirmed Deni Karmaina, Director of PT Rajawali Swiber Cakrawala, as Ibas’ schoolmate when delivering his testimony as witness in a Tuesday’s trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court.
Yulianis, former Finance Director of Permai Group, a company owned by Muhammad Nazaruddin, also claimed that Ibas has received US$200,000 from Permai Group as a fee for the controversial Hambalang sports center project. Ruhut is not the only high-profile figure who is “big mouthing” for defending themselves and connected persons from graft allegations.
The ousted Chairman of Democratic Party Anas Urbaningrum also welcomed people to hang him at the National Monument (Monas) if later being proven guilty for corruption act. The disgraced former Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court Akil Mochtar promised to let his fingers to be cut off if he was dragged on the corruption. Now, both Anas and Akil are graft suspects and have been arrested by the KPK.(haryantos@yosefardi.biz).
