Comments on other issues: Budi '€˜used son'€™ to launder dirty money

J

strong>Jan. 19, p3

National Police chief candidate Comr. Gen. Budi Gunawan, who has been named a graft suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), allegedly involved his young son in managing money he may have illicitly amassed from various sources, some documents have revealed.

A document with the header '€œtop secret'€ detailed the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre'€™s (PPATK) 2008 analysis on suspicious transactions in Budi'€™s four bank accounts in one of the country'€™s prominent banks between 2005 and 2008. One of the accounts was closed in March 2006.

Your comments:


Those who approved his nomination should not be considered lawmakers. Instead, they should be called lawbreakers.

Pak Budi, you should have withdrawn your candidacy when things started to heat up, before all the dirt surfaced.

President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo, as I'€™ve said is a very careful individual. Observe when he reads, it'€™s done carefully and slowly. I am certain that he has considered the consequences of his recent actions. His heart really does go out to the people, just don'€™t test his patience.

I am not bothered by all the '€œpolitical'€ comments regarding KPK'€™s timing. If they have evidence of wrongdoings then go after the people concerned no matter what.

He who screams foul in situations like this has something to hide. If the KPK had more manpower there would be more arrests as sure as night follows day.

Maybe Budi should be the chief of police after all, he thinks so much like a criminal.

But then again, he acts like a criminal too, exploiting his son to hide his fraudulent transactions. Obviously, '€œtop secret'€ isn'€™t in the vocabulary of this country, unless it pertains to trying to hide illegal activities.

I don'€™t think Indonesia has official secrets act as we do in the UK and other Commonwealth countries, prohibiting circulation or dissemination of official secrets documents. I stand corrected though.
