JAKARTA - The allegation of corruption in the purchase of Agusta Westland (AW) 101 helicopters is still not completed. The purchase of helicopters is considered to be in accordance with procedural, but strong marking occurs. President Jokowi asked immediately to intervene.

As is known, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has set the boss of PT Diratama Jaya Mandiri, Irfan Kurnia Saleh as a suspect. The process of appointing PT Diratama Jaya Mandiri as the project vendor was allegedly against the law.

Irfan as the boss of PT Diratama Jaya Mandiri is alleged to have benefited himself or others or a corporation, misusing his authority, opportunity or facilities due to position or position which could harm the state's finances or the state's economy in procuring AW-101 helicopters in the Indonesian Air Force Budget 2016-2017.

"The procurement process is correct, but it is not only a matter of procedure, because I have asked Pak Agus (Marshal Ret Agus Supriatna), old KSAU. If I read the information of Danpuspom and the Commander, there is a price difference, If there is no mistake maybe that heli is here," said member of House Commission I, Supiadin Aries Saputra Supiadin at the Parliament building, Jakarta, Tuesday (22/8).

He explained, the Audit Agency (BPK) has not found any state losses, as alleged Commander of the TNI General Gatot Nurmantyo.

"We will ask the TNI Commander (Gatot Nurmantyo), why there is a state loss, because there is no problem in the procedure. Maybe next week we will call the TNI Commander," he said.

At the same venue, defense and military observers, Connie Rahakundini Bakrie sees a meeting between all parties involved in the purchase of this helicopter.

"The Defense Minister should call the TNI Commander and KSAU, if necessary the President should calls," he said.

She said the purchase case of AW-101 will bring many problems. Primarily related to the government program of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) himself.

"The president's report is dated February 16, 2017, in which I tell the truth to achieve the world maritime state there are two important things how to build the posture of its strength and its projection and how the defense industry issues, therefore that should be driven by the president for the realization of the independence of the defense industry," Connie said.
