Jakarta (B2B) - DPPP Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP) resmi memutuskan untuk memecat Suryadharma Ali (SDA) sebagai ketua umum. Status tersangka korupsi dana haji yang disandang SDA menjadi salah satu alasan pemecatan mantan Menteri Agama tersebut.
"Status hukum yang bersangkutan membatasi gerak dan fungsinya sebagai ketua umum partai politik," kata Sekjen PPP Romahurmuziy di kantor DPP PPP di Jakarta, Rabu.
Pria yang akrab dipanggil Romy ini menyebutkan SDA telah melanggar pasal 10 ayat 1 huruf c dan d AD/ART partai.
SDA menurut Romy usai ditetapkan sebagai tersangka, tidak mengelola partai sesuai AD/ART pasal 57 ayat 1. Hal itu terbukti dari tidak digelarnya RPH DPP PPP yang seharusnya dijadwalkan satu bulan sekali.
SDA juga dianggap melanggar AD/ART pasal 16 ayat 2 huruf a, yang mengatur soal penunjukkan kader PPP yang ditugaskan di lembaga di luar partai. SDA telah menunjuk Dimyati Natakusuma sebagai Wakil Ketua MPR RI.
"Ekspose pemeriksaan terkait status hukum Ketua Umum sudah pada tingkat yang menjatuhkan nama baik dan kehormatan partai secara nasional," ujarnya.
Lebih lanjut Romy menambahkan bahwa partai perlu memberikan ruang dan waktu bagi SDA untuk fokus menangani perkara hukum yang menjerat dirinya. Romy menambahkan bahwa sebanyak 21 Dewan Perwakilan Wilayah PPP, juga sudah menyampaikan keprihatiannya agar SDA segera diberhentikan.
Sebagai pengganti RPH menunjuk Wakil Ketua Umum DPP PPP, Emron Pangkapi sebagai pelaksana tugas (plt) Ketua Umum DPP PPP. DPP juga akan menggelar Musyawarah Kerja Nasional (Mukernas) untuk mengukuhkan Emron.
SDA sebelumnya sempat menghadiri rapat tersebut, namun di tengah rapat ia memutuskan pergi karena menganggap telah terjadi konspirasi untuk melengserkan dirinya. SDA pada 20 April lalu juga pernah dipecat oleh forum yang sama, karena kebijakan kontroversialnya memecat sejumlah kader.
Jakarta (B2B) - The United Development Party (PPP) has removed Suryadharma Ali from the post of chairman following a meeting of the political partys national leaders held on Tuesday, (Sept. 9).
Suryadharma Ali will be replaced by Emron Pangkapi who will function as the acting chairman.
"To avoid any further harm, the party has decided to dismiss Suryadharma Ali and Emron Pangkapi will replace him as the acting chairman," the partys Secretary General, Romahurmuziy, stated here on Wednesday.
Romahurmuziy explained that the provisions regarding dismissal of the partys members has been set in Article 10, paragraph 1 on the partys statutes.
Several cadres believe that the current media revelation about Suryadharma Ali being named a suspect in the Hajj fund corruption case has tarnished the partys image.
"On this day, we formally dismissed Suryadharma Ali, and it is legitimated by the partys organizer," Romahurmuizy affirmed.
Earlier, Suryadharma Ali who also attended the partys closed session meeting held here on Tuesday night (Sept. 9) stressed that the meeting was organized to solely discuss the formation of a committee for a conference, which will take place on October 22, 2014.
However, Suryadharma Ali admitted that during the meeting, he was asked to step down from his current post.
Suryadharma Ali accused that the partys board had conspired to dismiss him, as a result of which he left the meeting early.
Suryadharma Ali is charged with Anti-Corruption Regulation Number 20/2001 that carries a maximum jail sentence of 20 years.
Last May, former religious affairs minister Suryadharma Ali was named as a suspect in a graft case involving the misuse of funds related to the 2012-2013 Hajj pilgrimage program. Suryadharma had allegedly embezzled public Hajj funds and organized free Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia for his inner circles and several public officials. The KPK also suspected misuse of Hajj funds, especially for paying hotel bills and travel expenses related to the Hajj pilgrimage.
