IS BEING DONE UP TO THE FINAL MOMENTS.

TIDAK mudah menyamakan isi kepala sembilan orang.
Apalagi jika mereka mewakili sembilan kepentingan
politik yang berbeda. Kamis pekan lalu, rapat tim kecil
panitia khusus penyelidikan bailout Bank Century, di
Hotel Santika, Slipi, Jakarta Barat, tak bisa menemukan
kata sepakat Padahal, dua jam lebih mereka berembuk,
merumuskan laporan final Panitia Angket yang akan
dibacakan dalam Rapat Paripurna Dewan Perwakilan
Rakyat, Selasa pekan ini.

It is not easy to get nine people to think along the
same lines, especially if they represent nine different
political interests. On Thursday last week, at a
meeting of a team of representatives of the special

committee to investigate the Bank Century bailout
case, at Santika Hotel, in West Jakarta, no agreement
was reached. They met for more than two hours,
formulating the final report of the DPR's Bank
Century Special Inquiry Committee, which was to be
read at the DPR Plenary Session on Tuesday this
week.
"We kept going over it, but we still failed to
reach

Muhammad

"Dibolak-balik, tetap saja tidak ketemu," kata

Agenda rapat malam itu memang bukan soal

The meeting's agenda that night was no simple
matter. They had to bring together at least four
viewpoints into one single report to be read out to

560 members of the legislalure at a plenary session
scheduled for March 3. They initially tried to
compromise so that the Special Committee could
come up with an unanimous stance. "However, the
differences were too great. We could not unify

Wakil Sekjen Partai Ka'bah ini benar belaka.
Persepsi sebagian fraksi atas proses penyelamatan Bank
Century memang berbeda bak langit dan bumi. Meski
sudah hampir empat bulan bersama-sama menguliti
dokumen dan kesaksian dari berbagai pihak yang diduga
terlibat, kesepahaman tampaknya mustahil dicapai.

This PPP Deputy Secretary-General was
entirely correct. The differences of opinion among
some of the factions regarding the Bank Century
bailout process were like night and day. Even though
they spent almost four months together going
through documents and the testimonies of various
parties suspected of involvement, it was impossible
to reach some kind of an agreement.

Perbedaan itu tercermin jelas dari sesi

pemandangan akhir fraksi-fraksi, yang digelar di
Senayan, Selasa pekan lalu. Fraksi Partai Demokrasi
Indonesia Perjuangan, Partai Golkar, Partai Keadilan
Sejahtera, dan Hanura tegas-tegas menilai telah terjadi
kesalahan pengambilan kebijakan. Keempat fraksi
menuding Wakil Presiders Boediono yang saat itu
menjabat Guburnur Bank Indonesia dan Menteri
Keuangan Sri Mulyani selaku Ketua Komite Stabilitas
Sistem Keuangan harus bertanggungjawab.

These differences were clearly reflected during
the session of the factions, at which they submitted
their final viewpoints, which was held on Tuesday
last week. The Indonesian Democratic Party of
Struggle (PDI-P) faction, Golkar Party, the Justice
Prosperity Party (PKS), and Hanura emphatically
concluded that an error in policy was made. Four
factions charged that Vice President Boediono–who
at that time was Governor of Bank Indonesia –and
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, acting as head of the

Pandangan lima fraksi lain lebih moderat, meski
juga tak sepenuhnya seragam. Partai Persatuan
Pembangunan dan Partai Grerindra menilai kebijakan
penyelamatan krisis perbankan sudah tepat, namun formulasi kebijakan dan implementasinya bermasalah.
Partai Amanat Nasional hanya menyoroti penerapan
kebijakan penyelamatan yang bolong di sana-sini.
Sedangkan Partai Demokrat dan Partai Kebangkitan
Bangsa bersikap lebih tegas: tak ada yang salah dalam
bailout Century.

The views given by the other five factions were
more moderate, even though they were not in
complete agreement. The PPP and Gerindra party
felt that the policy to aid a bank in crisis was
appropriate, but that there were mistakes in the way
the policy was formulated and implemented. The
National Mandate Party (PAN) pointed to the
various shortcomings in the application of the policy.
Meanwhile, the Democrat Party and the National
Awakening Party (PKB) emphatically stated there
was nothing wrong with the Bank Century bailout.

Perbedaan ini mengundang spekulasi bahwa
koalisi pendukung Presiden Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono sudah tak bisa lagi dipertahankan. Sikap
keras Golkar dan PKS untuk terus-menerus mengirim
sinyal berbeda ke publik jelas membuat kubu Istana tak
nyaman
Perkembangan terakhir di Senayan menandakan
ada kesenjangan antara apa yang disepakati di tingkat
elite partai dan manuver para politikus di Gedung DPR.
Ketua umum partai bisa saja berangkulan dengan
Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, tapi itu bukan
jaminan politikus mereka disiplin dengan komitmen
pimpinan.

These differences invited speculation whether
the coalition of President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono could be maintained. The strong stance
taken by Golkar and PKS to oppose the policy has
clearly unnerved the Palace.

The latest developments at the legislature have

Sampai akhir pekan lalu, dukungan Yudhoyono
untuk Boediono dan Sri Mulyani memang tak surut.
Menjelang detik-detik kritis pengambilan keputusan di
Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat pekan ini, Presiden seakan
ingin menegaskan bahwa dia tak mungkin mengorbankan dua orang kepercayaannya itu.

PRESIDENT Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
opened the cabinet meeting on the Thursday
afternoon last week with a short prayer for
Boediono. On that February 25, it happened to be the
67th birthday of the Vice President, who was born in
Blitar, East Java. "May Pak Boed have a long life,
always be protected by God, be given wisdom and
guidance to live a blessed life," said Yudhoyono in
his prayer. All of the ministers present bowed their
heads.
At the end of last week, Yudhoyono's
support for Boediono and Sri Mulyani had not
abated. Nearing the critical moment of decisionmaking at the DPR this week, the President seemed
to emphasize that there is no way he will sacrifice
those two trusted persons.

Pekan lalu, sempat beredar kabar bahwa Boediono
dan Sri Mulvani akan mundur bersama jika- salah satu
atau keduanya–dinyatakan bersalah oleh legislatif.
Namun isu ini cepat-cepat ditepis lingkaran dalam
Istana. "Tak pernah ada rencana seperti itu," kata Yopie
Hidayat, staf khusus sekaligus juru bicara Wakil
Presiden.

Last week, rumors said Boediono and Sri
Mulyani would both resign if one or both of them
were found guilty by the legislature. However, this
rumor was quickly played down by circles in the
Palace. "There was never such a plan." said Yopie
Hidayat, a special staff and spokesman for the Vice
President.

source at the State Palace, commenting on the coordinative meeting between the three, on Wednesday
last week.

Kepercayaan diri kubu lstana tak lepas dari
terungkapnya sejumlah kasus yang melibatkan motor
Panitia Angket, sepanjang pekan lalu. Misalnya kasus
letter of credit dari Bank Century untuk PT Selalang
Prima International milik politikus Partai Keadilan
Sejahtera, Misbakhun, senilai US$ 22,5 juta. Misbakhun
adalah anggota Tim Sembilan, yang pertama kali
menggulirkan kasus Century di parlemen.

The confidence of the Palace camp was partly
buoyed by revelations last week of cases involving
some legislators who pushed for the formation of the
inquiry committee. For instance, there was the letter
of credit from Bank Century in favor of PT Selalang
Prima International, a company connected to PKS
politician Misbakhun, in the amount of US$22.5
million. Misbakhun is a member of the Team of
Nine, who first raised the Bank Century case in the
DPR.
Further more, the reemergence of the sale of
imported rice by PT Hexatama Finindo, a company
connected to Golkar Party politician Setya Novanto,
in the amount of US$12 million, two weeks ago, also
came as good news for the Palace. Novanto is
currently Golkar faction chief in the DPR, who has
been directing the moves of his members in the
Special Committee. The Novanto case adds to the
pressure being put on Golkar, already plagued by
charges of tax evasion by the Bakrie Group of
companies.

Selain itu, muncul kembalinya kasus penjualan
beras impor oleh PT Hexatama, Finindo milik politikus
Partai Golkar, Setya Novanto senilai US$ 12 juta, dua
pekan lalu, membuat girang Istana. Novanto sekarang
adalah Ketua Fraksi Golkar di parlemen, yang aktit
mengawal gerak-gerik anggotanya di Panitia Angket
Century. Kasus Novanto menambah tekanan kepada
Beringin, yang sebelumnya sudah terpojok oleh
tudingan pengemplangan pajak Grup Bakrie.

Kubu Yudhoyono yakin betul pada putaran
terakhir pekan ini, semua partai akan kembali
“menggunakan akal sehat" dan merapatkan diri ke
lstana. "Kami tidak yakin soal PKS, tapi Golkar sangat
mungkin berkompromi,” kata satu sumber Tempo.
Alasannya simpel: Ketua Umum Golkar Aburizal
Bakrie diyakini tidak akan mengorbankan bisnisnya
untuk kepentingan politik.

The Yudhoyono camp truly believes that by the
final round this week, all of the parties will again
"use common sense" and fall in line with the Palace.
"We are not sure about the PKS, but it is very
possible that Golkar will compromise," said a
Tempo source. The reason is simple: reportedly,
Golkar Party Chairman Aburizal Bakrie will not sacrifice his business for political interests.

Pendeknya, Yudhoyono dan Partai Demokrat
merasa di atas angin. Masih kerasnya sikap Golkar dan
PKS serta abu – abunya posisi PAN dan PPP – dinilai
bukan soal besar. “Sama seperti mobil yang semula
melaju kencang, kan tidak mungkin tiba-tiba berputar
arah? Pasti mengerem dulu pelan-pelan," kata Achsanul
Qosasi, politikus Partai Demokrat di Panitia Angket.
Menurut Achsanul, sampai akhir pekan lalu,
ketaksepakatan partai koalisi - Demokrat, Golkar, PKS,
PAN, PPP, dan PKB - sebenarnya sudah mengerucut
pada enam poin temuan Panitia Angket. Tiga temuan
pertama berkaitan dengan kebijakan Bank Indonesia mengucurkan fasilitas pendanaan jangka pendek (FPJP) Rp
689 miliar untuk Bank Century, pada awal November
2008. Sisanya soal kebijakan Komite Stabilitas Sistem
Keuangan menyetujui penyertaan modal sementara ke
Bank Century.

In short, Yudhoyono and the Demecrat Party
feel that things will eventually go their way. The
sharp stance by Golkar and PKS–and the vague position of PAN and PPP - are not seen to be a serious
problem "It's like a car which is going fast. It cannot
just suddenly turn around, right? It would have to
slow down first," said Achsanul Qosasi, a Democrat
Party member in the Special Committee.
According to Achsanul, as of last week, the
absence of an agreement among the coalition parties
Democrat, Golkar, PKS, PAN, PPP, and PKB actually revolve around six findings of the Special
Committee. The first three findings covered the
policy of Bank Indonesia to extend Rp 689 billion in
short-term funding (FPJP) to Bank Century in early
November 2008. The other findings covered the
policy of the KSSK in approving temporary capital
investment in Bank Century.

Keenam wilayah temuan itu: pertama, soal satu
pasal dalam surat perjanjian (akta) pemberian FPJP yang
mengacu pada peraturan Bank Indonesia yang lamaNomor 10/26/2008 yang mensyaratkan rasio kecukupan
modal di atas 8 persen. Padahal saat itu rasio kecukupan
modal Bank Century sudah melorot tinggal sekitar 2
persen. "Menurut kami, itu salah ketik saja. Jelas-jelas
saat itu sudah ada peraturan Bank Indonesia yang baru,
Nomor 10/30/2008, yang hanya mensyaratkan rasio
modal positif,” kata Achsanul.

Here are the six findings: first, the matter of an
article in the agreement (act) to issue the FPJP,
which refers to an old regulation of Bank Indonesia
(No. 10/26/2008), stipulating that the capital
adequacy ratio (CAR) must be above 8 percent. In
fact, at that time, Bank Century's CAR had fallen to
about 2 percent. "According to us, that was just a
typo. Clearly at that time there was a new regulation
of Bank Indonesia. No. 10/30/2008, which only
required a positive CAR," said Achsanul.

Kedua, soal kurangnya jaminan FPJP yang
disetorkan Bank Century. "Seharusnya ada 150 persen
dari nilai bantuan, tapi audit Badan Pemeriksa Ke-

Second, there is the lack of guarantees for the

Ketiga, soal tidak adanya surat permohonan FPJP
dari Bank Century. Saat itu, Bank Century memang
hanya mengajukan surat permohonan repo (repurchase
agreement) atas asetnya di Bank Indonesia, yang
kemudian dijawab bank central dengan pengucuran
FPJP. "Sebagian fraksi menilai tiga temuan
mengindikasikan pelanggaran pidana. Sedangkan kami
menilai ini hanya kesalahan administratif dalam
penerapan kebijakan," kata Achsanul.

Keempat. soal peran dominan Sekretaris Komite
Stabilitas, Raden Pardede, dalam penyusunan laporan
Bank Indonesia ke Komite Stabilitas pada 21 November
2008.
Kelima, soal dasar hukum keberadaan Komite
Stabilitas yang tumpang-tindih antara UU Bank
Indonesia, UU Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan. dan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang tentang
Jaring Pengaman Sistem Keuangan. “Ini kan wilayah
Mahkamah Konstitusi, bukan panitia angket parlemen.”
katanya.

Keenam, soal keputusan Komite Stabilitas yang
mengandalkan sepenuhnya laporan Bank Indonesia soal
estimasi biaya bailout. "Menurut sebagian anggota
Panitia Angket, seharusnya Komite Stabilitas
melakukan review dan mengeluarkan perkiraan biaya
bailout sendiri, bukannya mengandalkan data Bank
Indonesia.- kata Achsanul.

the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) found that the
amount of the guarantee deposited by Bank Century
was only 83 percent," he said
Third, is the question whether or not there was
a letter requesting the FPJP from Bank Century. At
that time. Bank Century had only filed for a
repurchase agreement for its assets in Bank Indonesia, which the central bank responded to by giving
the FPJP. "Some factions feel that these three
findings indicate some kind of breach. Meanwhile,
we feel that this is just an administrative error in
applying the policy," said Achsanul.

Fourth, there is the dominant role of Raden Pardede,
Secretary of the KSSK. in formulating the report of
Bank Indonesia to the Stability Committee on November 2l, 2008.
Fifth, involves the issue of the legal basis for
the existence of the Stability Committee itself, which
overlaps with the Law on Bank Indonesia. the Law
on the Indonesian Savings Guarantee Board (LPS)
and the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law
regarding the Financial System Security Network.
“This is of course the jurisdiction of the
Constitutional Court, not a parliamentary inquiry
committee." he said,
Sixth, there is the matter of the decision of the
Stability Committee which fully relied on the report
of Bank Indonesia regarding the estimated cost of
the bailout. "According to some members of the
Special Committee, the Stability Committee should
have conducted a review and issued its own estimate
of the cost of the bailout, not just rely on data from

Menurut Achsanul, semua partai koalisi sepakat
adanya enam temuan itu, tapi berbeda sikap soal
penafsiran temuan itu. Fraksi Demokrat, misalnya,
menilai tidak ada indikasi korupsi atau pelanggaran
hukum di enam temuan int. "Lain ceritanya kalau Panitia Angket menemukan aliran dana sekian puluh miliar
ke Boediono dan Sri Mulyani. Tapi ini kan tidak ada?"
kata Achsanul keras.
Sementara Fraksi Golkar dan PKS ngotot menilai
temuan-temuan itu sudah cukup untuk menyatakan
kedua teknokrat itu bersalah. "Sikap kami hanya
berdasarkan fakta dan data." kata Sekretarts Fraksi
Golkar, Ade Komaruddin.
Tim kecil Panitia Angket masih akan bertemu
lagi sebelum rapat paripurna pada Selasa ini. Empat
kubu pendapat yang masih ada, menurut Romahurmuzi,
akan mencoba bergerak ke tengah. Achsanul mengaku
akan berusaha menarik fraksi lain mendekat ke
Demokrat. Kalau berhasil, dia memprediksi hanya akan
ada dua kubu besar kubu yang menilai kebijakan bailout
tidak bermasalah, dan kubu yang menilai sebaliknya.
“Nanti kita voting di paripurna.” kata Achsanul. Minus
Golkar dan PKS, tapi plus Gerindra, kubu Demokrat
bisa menang tipis di pemungutan suara.

Namun hitung-hitungan kubu lain tidak
seoptimistis Achsanul. Ade Komaruddin menilai
pengelompokan menjadi dua kutub bisa dikatakan tidak
mungkin terjadi. "Saya yakin, posisi semua fraksi tidak
akan berubah dari pemandangan akhir di rapat Panitia
Angket pekan lalu," katanya. Wakil Sekjen Golkar Lalu

Bank Indonesia," said Achsanul.
According to Achsanul, all of the coalition
parties agreed on these six findings, however they
took different positions on what the findings implied.
The Democrat Party faction, for instance, felt that
there were no indications of corruption or crime in
these six findings. "It would be a different story if
the Special Committee found tens of billions of rupiah going to Boediono and Sri Mulyani. However,
nothing like this happened," stressed Achsanul.
Meanwhile, the Golkar and PKS factions insist
that these findings are sufficient to declare the two
technocrats guilty. "Our stance is only based on the
facts and data," said Golkar faction secretary, Ade
Komaruddin.
The representative team of the Special
Committee will meet again before the plenary
session is held this Tuesday. The four different
camps, according to Romahurmuzy, will try to move
to the center. Achsanul said that he will attempt to
draw the other factions closer to the stance of the
Democrat Party. If he succeeds, he predicts there
will only be two major camps: the one with the view
that there was nothing wrong with the bailout, and
one which contradicts it. "We will vote on it at the
plenary session,” said Achsanul. Without Golkar and
PKS, but with Gerindra, the Democrat Party could
have a narrow victory.
However, the calculations of the other camps
are not as optimistic as the one by Achsanul. Ade
Komaruddin says it would not be possible to group
everyone into two camps. "I am sure that the
positions of the factions will not change from their
views given at the final meeting of the Special

Mara Satriawangsa membenarkan. Menurut dia, rapatrapat Panitia Angket adalah panggung politik yang
diawasi publik dengan intens. "Bagaimana mungkin
kami diharapkan berubah arah pada saat-saat terakhir
seperti ini," katanya.

Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani tenang-tenang
saja terhadap sengkarut Senayan dalam memutuskan
nasibnya. Rabu pekan lalu, sambil tersenyum lepas dia
mengomentari pandangan akhir fraksi-fraksi di Panitia
Angket Century, sehari sebelumnya. "Saya senang
dievaluasi, asalkan evaluasi itu secara obyektif,
berdasarkan kinerja dan peraturan undang-undang."
katanya. Dengan selendang merah muda di pundak
kanan, Sri Mulyani tampak percaya diri.
Ketika satu jurnalis bertanya apakah keceriannya
hari itu berkaitan dengan dukungan politik Partai
Demokrat dan koalisinva di DPR, Sri Mulyani tertawa.
"Tidak ada hubungannya,” katanya. "Kalau proses
hukum, politik, dan administrasi dievaluasi secara
obyektif, saya tenang. Saya tahu saya sudah
menjalankan semuanya sesuai undangundang."

Committee last week." he said. Golkar Deputy
Secretary-General, Lalu Mara Satriawangsa, verified
this. He said that the meetings of the Special
Committee were a political stage that has become
intensely monitored by the public. "How can we
possibly be expected to change direction in these
final moments?" he said.
Finance Minister Sri Mulyani is calmly facing
the dilemma she finds herself in, aware that the
outcome will affect her future. On Wednesday last
week, all smiles, she commented on the final views
given by the factions in the Bank Century Special
Committee, held the previous day. "I am happy to be
evaluated, as long as the evaluation is done
objectively, based on performance and the laws and
regulations," she said. Wearing a pink shawl over
her right shoulder, Sri Mulyani appeared confident.
When one journalist asked if her good mood
that day was connected with the political support of
the Democrat Party and its coalition partners in the
DPR, Sri Mulyani laughed. "That has nothing to do
with it." she said. "If the legal, political, and
administrative processes are evaluated objectively, I
should be nothing but calm. I know that I have
implemented everything according to law."

LAWYER Otto Cornelis Kaligis held out a
pen for Muhammad Nazaruddin to sign. Nazaruddin,
a suspect in a bribery case regarding an athletes'
accommodation project for the upcoming SEA Games
just sat still, ignoring the offer made by the lawyer.
He refused to sign the paper in front of him. Only
these two were in the meeting room located inside the
detention facility of the police's Mobile Brigade
(Brimob) Command Headquarters in Kelapa Dua,
Depok, West Java, on Monday last week.

Alat perekam Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi,
yang sengaja dipasang di ruangan itu, kemudian
menangkap adegan di ruangan lain. Muhammad Nasir,
anggota Komisi Hukum Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat,
kakak kandung Nazaruddin, menemui mantan
Bendahara Umum Partai Demokrat itu. Bertemu
seperempat jam, tak banyak yang dibicarakan anakanak pasangan M. Latif dan Aminah ini. "Nazar lebih

juru bicara rumah tahanan Brimob.

A camera installed by the Corruption
Eradication Commission (KPK), captured the scene
taking place in another room. Muhammad Nasir, a
member of the Law Commission of the House of
Representatives (DPR), Nazaruddin's older brother,
met with this former Democrat Party treasurer.
Lasting for about 15 minutes, not much was said
between the two siblings. "Nazaruddin mostly kept
quiet.” said Senior Adjunct Commissioner IC
Budiman, spokesman for Brimob's detention facility.

several members of the House's Law Commission,
such as Ahmad Yani from the United Development
Party, and Nudirman Munir and Aziz Syamsuddin
from the Golkar Party. They forced their way in,
eventhough visiting Nazaruddin was only allowed
with the authorization of the KPK.

Berdasarkan rekaman di rumah tahanan Brimob
dan keterangan saksi, para anggota legislatif itu
merangsek masuk meski dihalangi petugas. Mereka
berkukuh hendak menemui Nazaruddin yang
sebenarnya ogah menemui mereka. Para anggota
Dewan beralasan kunjungan ke rumah tahanan
merupakan bagian dari tugas mereka. Saya kan
menjalankan tugas konstitusi. Kami mau melihat saja,"
ujar Nudirman dengan nada tinggi.

Based on the recordings at the Brimob detention
facility and eyewitness testimony, these legislators
inched their way inside, despite being obstructed by
officers. They insisted on meeting Nazaruddin, who
was actually not interested in meeting them. These
legislators said that their visit to the detention facility
was a part of their job. “I am carrying out
constitutional duties. We just want to take a look,”
said Nudirman in a high-pitched voice.

Kaligis juga sempat menunjukkan Surat kuasa
yang ditandatangani Nazaruddin pada saat dalam
pelarian di Singapura- Penyidik menolak surat itu karena tidak sesuai dengan aturan, yakni surat kuasa yang
dibuat di luar negeri harus dilegalisasi Kedutaan Besar
Republik Indonesia. Selain itu, mereka yang boleh
masuk ruang tahanan harus mendapat persetujuan
Nazaruddin.
Guna menghindari cekcok berkepanjangan,
penyidik akhirnya memperbolehkan Nazaruddin
ditemui empat mata oleh Aziz Syamsuddin. Pada saat
itulah anggota rombongan lain merangsek masuk.
“Nanti pakai hak untuk diam saja,” kata Kaligis
sembari menyerahkan buku soal hukum pidana. “Tanpa
pengacara, jangan mau (diperiksa),” Nudirnian
menimpali.

Kaligis also showed the power of attorney
signed by Nazaruddin while he was on the run in
Singapore. Investigators rejected this letter because it
was not in accordance with regulations, as a power of
attorney privilege made in another country must be
legalized by the Indonesian embassy. In addition,
those allowed into the detention facility must have
Nazaruddin's approval.
In order to avoid a lengthy dispute, investigators
finally allowed Nazaruddin to meet privately with
another lawyer, Aziz Syamsuddin. At this point the
other members of the entourage made their way
inside. “Later use right to remain silent,” said Kaligis
while handing over a book on criminal law. “Without
a lawyer present, don't agree [to be questioned].
“Nudirman retorted.

NAZARUDDIN dibawa ke Indonesia dari
Kolumbia pada 13 Agustus lalu. Sejak Nazaruddin tiba
di Tanan Air kasusnya menciptakan berbagai kisah.
Drama pertama tersaji ketika turun dari pesawat
carteran Guifstreaum, dengan tangan diborgolkan ke
seorang penyidik KPK Nazaruddin dikawal ketat
pasukan bersenjata lengkap. la diboyong ke Markas
Brimob, baru kemudian diserahterimakan ke komisi
antikorupsi pada malam harinva.
Pemeriksaan perdana Nazaruddin soal biodatanva
berlangsung hingga pukul 01.00 WIB. Dalam rekaman
video KPK, terlihat Nazaruddin berbincang santai
dengan dua penyidik diruang pemeriksaan berukuran
sekitar 3 x 3 meter di lantai 7 gedung KPK. Ia ditawari
rokok, kopi, hingga makanan dalam kotak berlauk
rendang. “Sudah lama saya tidak makan nasi Padang,”
ujar Nazaruddin sembari tersenyum kepada penyidik.
Drama lain seputar Nazaruddin adalah perebutan
hak pembelaan dua kubu pengacara, yakni Elza Syarief
dan OC. Kaligis. Elza mengaku mendapat mandat dari

Before going to the Brimob detention, Nasir and
Kaligis met with DPR leaders: Marzuki Alie
(Democrat Party), Pramono Anung (Indonesian
Democratic Party of Struggle—PDIP), and Anis
Matta (Justice and Prosperity Party-PKS). Nasir
complained about the difficulty of meeting
Nazaruddin and his concern for his health. “It is very
possible that Nazaruddin was undergoing some kind
of brainwashing,” said Kaligis in the DPR before
going to the Brimob facility.
***
NAZARUDDIN was brought back to Indonesia
from Colombia on August 13. Nazaruddin’s return
home created a number of dramatic stories. The first
took place when he debarked the chartered Gulfstream
airplane. Handcuffed to a KPK investigator,
Nazaruddin was escorted under heavy guard of a fully
armed police detail. He was taken to the Brimob, HQ
and was turned over to the KPK later that night.
Nazaruddin’s first session regarding his personal
data lasted until l am. In the KPK’s video recording,
Nazaruddin can be seen talking casually with two
investigators in an interrogation room measuring
about 3 x 3 meters on the seventh floor of the KPK
Building. He was offered cigarettes, coffee, and a
boxed lunch with an Indonesian dried beef dish. “I
haven't eaten this kind of food for a long time,” said
Nazaruddin smiling to investigators.
Another drama involving Nazaruddin had to do
with two camps fighting over who was his rightful
legal counsel, namely Elza Syarief or O.C. Kaligis.

adik bungsu Nazaruddin, Mujahidin Nur Hasyim. Ia
juga hadir ketika Nazaruddin pertama kali dibawa ke
KPK. Selasa pekan lalu, ia mengunjungi Nazaruddin di
tahanan Brimob, dan mendampingi pemeriksaan
Nazaruddin. “Kalau Nazar mau ringan hukumannya,
harus terbuka,” kata Elza.

Kaligis yang sejak awal mengklaim sebagai
kuasa hukum Nazaruddin, mempertanyakan KPK yang
menurut dia melarang pengacara menemui Nazaruddin
saat berada di ruang tahanan. Ia juga kerap melontarkan
kekhawatiran Nazaruddin dicuci otaknya oleh KPK.
Surat yang menjadi pegangan Kaligis adalah surat
penunjukannya sebagai penasihat hukum yang dibuat
ketika
Nazarudiing
di
Singapura.
“Yang
mempertemukan mereka adalah adalah Albert
Panggabean,” kata sumber Tempo. Dalam pertemuan di
Marina Mandarin Hotel, Singapura itu, Kaligis
mengaku tidak butuh dibayar. Kaligis membantah
mengenal Albert Panggabean.
Pernyataan
Kaligis
tentang
upaya
menghalanginya menemui Nazaruddin terbantahkan.
Dalam rekaman video yang dilansir KPK, pada malam
ketika Nazaruddin diperiksa KPK, perwakilan Kaligis,
Afrian Bonjol, diperbolehkan penyidik menemuinya.
Afrian menyodorkan surat kuasa untuk ditandatangani,
tapi Nazaruddin menolak. “Nanti pemeriksaan kedua,”
kata nya.
Nazaruddin, menurut sumber di KPK, juga

Elza claimed he obtained a mandate from
Nazaruddin's youngest brother, Mujahidin Nur
Hasyim. He was present the first time Nazaruddin was
taken to the KPK. On Tuesday last week, he visited
Nazaruddin in the Brimob jail and was present for
Nazaruddin's questioning by the KPK two days later.
Elza said she only wanted to help Nazaraddin- “If
Nazar wants to get a lenient sentence, he has to be
open,” said Elza.
Kaligis, who from the outset claimed to be
Nazaruddin's lawyer, questioned the KPK, which,
according to him, banned lawyers from seeing
Nazaruddin when he is in custody. He has also raised
his concern that Nazaruddin was being brainwashed
by the KPK.
The document that Kaligis holds is his letter of
appointment as a legal advisor, made when
Nazaruddin was in Singapore. “Albert Panggabean
introduced them,” said a Tempo source. In that
meeting at the Marina Mandarin Hotel in Singapore,
Kaligis said he did not need to be paid. Kaligis denied
knowing Albert Panggabean.

Kaligis's statement about efforts being made to
prevent him from meeting Nazaruddin is debatable. In
a video recording released by the KPK, on the night
when Nazaruddin was questioned by the KPK,
Kaligis's representative, Afrian Bonjol, was allowed
to meet him by investigators. Afrian presented him a
power of attorney letter to be signed, but he refused.
“It happened later during the second questioning,” he
said.

yang boleh menjenguknya. Satu per satu nama yang
ditulis Nazaruddin pada secartik kertas adalah Neneng
Sri Wahyuni, istrinya; M Nasir, kakaknya; Rita Zahara,
kakak sulung; Hasyim, adiknya, Aan, sopir pribadi; dan
Kaligis. Setelah menuliskan nama-nama itu. Nazaruddin berpikir sejenak, kemudian mencoret nama Kaligis.
“Enggak usah aja,” ujarnya.
Seorang advokat mengungkapkan Nazaruddin
kecewa terhadap Kaligis. Pasalnya Kaligis berjanji
tidak akan mengenakan biaya pendampingan. Nyatanya, Nazaruddin diharuskan membayar pengacara
selama pelarian di Singapura. Terakhir, pengacara di
Kolombia yang hendak mengurus suaka politiknya pun
meminta bayaran US$ 1 juta (sekitar Rp 8.5 miliar).
Tapi Nazaruddin membantah informasi miring itu.
Meski berkali-kali menolak Kaligis, Nazar
akhirnya menyerah. Surat kuasa untuk Kaligis
ditekennya pada Selasa, 16 Agustus, di tahanan. Surat
dititipkan Kaligis lewat Nasir. Sehari setelah itu.
Kaligis menemui Nazaruddin di tahanan. Keesokan
harinya, Nazaruddin diperiksa KPK. Di sinilah
Nazaruddin memainkan babak baru dalam drama
hidupnya: bungkam.

Dalam pemeriksaan selama dua jam, Nazaruddin
lebih banyak menjawab lupa, kala 20 pertanyaan
tentang peristiwa dugaan korupsi proyek wisma atlet
diajukan. Ia menyampaikan kesediaanya menerima
hukuman tanpa diperiksa. Bahkan dalam surat yang
ditujukan
kepada
Presiden
Susilo
Bambang

was also asked to write down the names of friends and
relatives who were allowed to visit him. The names
that Nazaruddin wrote on a piece of paper were:
Neneng Sri Wahyuni, his wife: M. Nasir, his older
brother; Rita Zahara, his oldest sister; Hasyim, his
younger brother. Aan, his driver; and Kaligis. After
writing down those names, Nazaruddin thought for a
moment, then crossed out Kaligis's name. “Not necessary. he said.
One advocate said that Nazaruddin was
disappointed with Kaligis. Kaligis had promised he
would not charge any fees. As it turned out,
Nazaruddin had to pay the lawyer for the duration of
his flight in Singapore. Most recently, the lawyer in
Colombia who was going to process his request for
political asylum asked for a payment of US$1 million
(about Rp 8.5 billion). Nazaruddin, however did not
confirm this information.
After repeatedly rejecting to be represented by
Kaligis, Nazaruddin finally gave in. He signed the
power of attorney in favor of Kaligis on Tuesday, August 16, while in detention. The letter was sent to
Kaligis through Nasir. A day later, Kaligis met
Nazaruddin in custody. The following day,
Nazaruddin was questioned by the KPK. This was
when Nazaruddin began a new chapter in his drama:
keeping quiet.
During the two hours of questioning,
Nazaruddin mostly replied “I forget” to the 20
questions asked about the events surrounding the
alleged embezzlement in the SEA Games
accommodation project. He conveyed his willingness
to accept punishment without being questioned. In

RAIL ROADED
(April 26th, 2011)

SUATU hari, Oktober 2005, Soemino Eko
Saputro menerima panggilan dari bosnya, Menteri
Perhubungan Hatta Rajasa. Ia yang ketika itu Direktur Jenderal Perkeretaapian, segera datang ke
ruang kerja Hatta di lantai 8 Gedung Karsa, Kantor
Departemen Perhubungan, Jalan Merdeka Barat 8,
Jakarta Pusat.

One day in October 2005, Soemino Eko Saputro
received a call from his boss, Transportation Minister
Hatta Rajasa. As he was then the Director-General of
Railways, he immediately went to Hatta's office on the
8th floor of the Karsa Building at the Transportation
Ministry headquarters in Central Jakarta.

Di ruang kerja Hatta, sudah menunggu lima
orang tamu. Mereka adalah Achmad Hafisz Tohir,
Hartanto Edhie Wibowo, Dicky Tjokrosaputro, Jon
Erizal, dan seseorang bernama Agung. Belakangan,
Soemino tahu mereka bukan orang sembarangan.
Hafisz adalah adik Hatta, Hartanto merupakan adik
bungsu Ani Yudhoyono, dan Jon Erizal tercatat
sebagai Bendahara Umum Partai Amanat Nasional.
Adapun Dicky merupakan Direktur Utama PT
Power Telecom, perusahaan penyedia infrastruktur
jaringan Internet. Agung adalah anggota staf Dicky.

Five guests were already waiting in Hatters office.
They were: Achmad Hafisz Tohir, Hartanto Edhie
Wibowo, Dicky Tjokrosaputro, Jon Erizal, and someone
named Agung. Later, Soemino found out that these were
no ordinary guests. Hafisz was Hatter's younger brother,
Hartanto was the youngest brother of Ani Yudhoyono,
and Jon Erizal was treasurer of the National Mandate
Party (PAN). Dicky was CEO at PT Power Telecom, a
company which provides infrastructure for internet networks. Agung was Dicky's staff member.

the entourage met with the management of Japan
