He also said there were four lawyers who would process or represent the demands of the Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investments, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, as the reporter on the case.

Luhut’s four attorneys included Nelson Darwis, Malik Bawazier, Patra M Zen and Riska Elita.

For information, the origin of this lawsuit is on Muhammad Said Didu’s YouTube channel. At that time, Said Didu was interviewed by Hersubeno Arief and uploaded the 22-minute video interview.

In the video, Said Didu highlighted the issue of preparing for the transfer of a new national capital that is still ongoing amid efforts by the government and all parties facing the Covid-19 outbreak.

Didu said, he said, this shows that the government does not prioritize the problem of the welfare of the general public and only cares about the legacy.

Didu said, said Luhut insisted that Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati not “disturb” funds for the construction of new IKNs and this could increase the burden of state debt.
