        "summary": "Rudianto Lallo, a DPR Commission III member from the Nasdem faction, has criticised the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for transferring former Minister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas to house arrest, describing it as an unprecedented move in corruption cases that raises public suspicions of legal discrimination and lack of transparency. He highlighted that the decision, made secretly by investigators shortly after detention, deviates from standard practices where such changes occur at prosecution or trial stages, potentially eroding public trust in the KPK. Rudianto urged clear explanations to prevent perceptions of selective treatment and institutional damage.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - A member of DPR Commission III from the Nasdem\nfaction, Rudianto Lallo, considers the transfer of detention status for\nformer Minister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas to house arrest\nas an unusual step in handling corruption cases.<\/p>\n<p>Although the authority lies with the Corruption Eradication\nCommission (KPK) investigators, according to Rudianto, the decision\nstill raises various public questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what triggers various reactions, because firstly, it is\nunusual; it is not customary for the KPK in handling corruption crimes\nfor someone who has already been detained, for the sake of\ninvestigation, there has never been a history of transferring detention\nstatus,\u201d said Rudianto when contacted by Kompas.com on Monday\n(23\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The transfer of detention status for corruption suspects, according\nto him, has the potential to create an impression of legal\ndiscrimination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will certainly cause legal discrimination, disparity. Why is\nthere a suspect who has been detained and then transferred,\u201d he\nexplained.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Rudianto also questioned the transparency aspect of the\ndecision.<\/p>\n<p>He assessed that the closed process of transferring detention\nactually strengthens public suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen designated as a suspect, it was published widely with orange\nvests. When the detention is transferred, it is done secretly or\nquietly, even exposed by the wife of one of the detainees; this is what\nneeds to be answered to the public,\u201d said the Nasdem Party\npolitician.<\/p>\n<p>Rudianto added that the KPK\u2019s step of detaining and then transferring\ndetention status in a short time is also not customary in law\nenforcement practices.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, he said, the transfer of detention status is done at the\nprosecution or trial stage by the prosecutor or judge, not by the\ninvestigators who previously carried out the detention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is interesting in the KPK is that it detains itself, the\ninvestigators themselves detain, the investigators themselves transfer.\nThis is what becomes a public question,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Rudianto assessed that if not explained openly, this step could\nimpact the decline in public trust in the KPK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about the institution\u2019s stake. Why do I call it the\ninstitution\u2019s stake? Because when the public views the KPK as\ndiscriminatory, selective, only giving house arrest facilities to\ncertain people, this will lower public trust in the KPK institution.\nDon\u2019t let a single blemish spoil the whole pot of milk,\u201d he stated.<\/p>",
