Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) Arifinto said Tuesday he has asked for forgiveness from God after he was photographed allegedly viewing pornographic content on his computer during a House of Representative plenary session on Friday.
“I hope God forgives me…,” he said as quoted by tribunnews.com
Arifinto decided to resign from his position as a legislator on Monday, with mounting pressure on him following the porn content controversy.
“…this [resignation] is a consequence of what happened to me. I can accept it,” he said.
Arifinto added that he expected other legislators to follow suit should they make such mistakes.
