Former KPK investigators support Prabowo rejects Amnesty Noel: thus the deterrent effect

Jakarta – Former KPK investigator Yudi Purnomo Harahap supports the steps of President Prabowo Subianto who will not protect his cabinet members involved in corruption. Yudi said the government must reject the request of amnesty delivered by former Deputy Minister of Manpower Immanuel Ebenezer or Noel when it will be detained by the KPK. ‘The president and government must reject the request of amnesty of former Deputy Minister of Wamenaker Noel, although he was a member of the Cabinet. It is a deterrent effect, so there are no more actions (officials) like Noel affected by the KPT, ‘Yudi said when he was contacted on Sunday (8/24/2025). Noel was arrested by the KPK’s arrest operation (OTT) on Wednesday (8/20). He was subsequently announced as a suspect in the case of the Kemnaker Occupational Safety and Health Certificate (K3) Friday (8/22).

Yudi also appreciated the work of the KPK who again managed to arrest ministerial officials in OTT activities. According to Yudi, the KPK action work is now on the right track. “Certainly increasing and the act of the KPK should be appreciated in the form of the KPK that is restored due to controversy in previous leadership. Now the KPK has returned on the track. But we also have to criticize and not do euphoria because it is only one OTT that makes the public passionate about attempts to eradicate corruption by the CPC,” you said. He hopes the KPK will not be complacent. Yudi said there were still many cases of alleged corruption to be resolved by the KPK. “We hope that this is not the first and last, hopefully in the future will be more OTT or disclosure of big business. Including KPK PR-PRS to be resolved, such as the case of additional quota for Hajj, CSR BI, including BJB and other cases should be resolved as KPK PR,” he said. Previously, Noel hoped to get through Prabowo amnesty. However, only the hope was said, Prabowo actually removed Noel from his position. “Hopefully pack Prabowo will give me amnesty,” Noel said in the KPK building on Friday (8/22), Kuningan, Jakarta. The statement was made by Noel when he was fed to a detention car. Amnesty’s request was made by Noel when he had not yet entered a housel. Noel and ten suspects for the extortion of the K3 Kemnaker K3 certificate have now undergone detention center detention. The palace also confirmed that President Prabowo will not give amnesty related to Ott Noel. Hasan Nasbi, head of the Presidential Communications Office (PCO), said Prabowo would not offer amnesty to the subordinates involved in corruption. “In this case, we only follow the legal process. Let the legal process that makes all this clear,” Hasan told reporters on Saturday (8/23). He said Prabowo regularly reminded his subordinates to work hard and not commit corruption. According to him, the warning was often said by Prabowo. Hasan also confirmed that Prabowo would defend no one involved in corruption. Prabowo, he said, gave it to the KPK in full. “The president also said that he would not defend his subordinates involved in corruption. We just leave it on law enforcement,” he said. (YGS/DHN)
