PPATK also found that the financial management collected by ACT was allegedly not directly channeled to the purpose of the donation. But first managed on a business basis.
“So we suspect this is a transaction that is managed from business to business, so it is not purely collecting funds and then channeled to the destination. But actually, it is managed first so that there is profit in it,” concluded Ivan.
Deputy Chairperson of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI), Sufmi Dasco Ahmad welcomed the decision of the Ministry of Social Affairs. He believes that the Ministry of Social Affairs has a strong basis to finally revoke ACT`s permit.
“Yes, I think the Ministry of Social Affairs, of course, already has a solid basis for revoking the permit for the organizer (ACT). So we from the DPR only support it,” said Sufmi Dasco in Jakarta, Wednesday (6/7).
Dasco says, Parliament strongly supports the revocation of the ACT permit. This is to ensure that there will be no more misappropriation of public donations, including reminding similar philanthropic institutions not to take similar actions.
“So that things do not happen again that are not on target, but then harm the community,” said this Gerindra Party politician.
Therefore, Dasco asked the relevant commissions in the DPR to continue to monitor cases like ACT. It does not have a permit but continues to operate to collect donations from the community and then there are allegations of misappropriation of the funds.
“What a pity!” he concluded.
