PDAM Corruption Session, South Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office Schedules Makassar Walkot Danny Pomanto's Summons

The Public Prosecutor's Team (JPU) of the South Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office has rescheduled the second transfer of Makassar Mayor Mohammad Ramdhan Pomanto (Danny Pomanto) to witness further trials in the corruption case at PDAM Makassar.

"This summons is the second summons for the mayor. He is a witness in the trial of the Makassar PDAM Corruption case," said Head of the Information and Legal Section of the South Sulawesi Prosecutor's Office, Soetarmi, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 9.

Danny Pomanto's summons as a witness for alleged corruption in the use of the Makassar City Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) funds for bonus payments, bonuses/production services for the 2017-2019 financial year. Then, the premium for insurance is used for the positions of mayor and deputy mayor of Makassar since 2016-2018 after being discovered by the South Sulawesi representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

In the trial later, the statement of the mayor of Makassar is very much needed by the public prosecutor to reveal legal facts and prove the role of the two defendants, respectively the General Director of PDAM Makassar for the 2017-2019 period, Haris Yasin Limpo and the former Director of Finance, Irawan Abadi.

The plan is to summon Danny Pomanto for the second time, said Soertami, as a witness at the Corruption Court trial on Monday, June 12, 2023. Because at the previous trial the person concerned was not present without information or notification to the public prosecutor.
