Called Again Monday, Syahrul Yasin Limpo Is Considered A Rugi KPK If He Doesn't Give Information

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) asked the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo (SYL) to fulfill the investigator's summons on Monday, June 19. SYL is considered a loss if he is not present because he cannot explain his knowledge regarding alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture.

"It's a loss for him if he doesn't attend the opportunity that has been given by the investigative team," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, June 16.

Usually, the parties being examined will be given the opportunity to explain what he knows. "So that we can (do, red) further analysis," said Ali.

Previously, the KPK confirmed the investigation into alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture. This was in response to the circulating news that the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo along with two of his subordinates, KSD and HTA were also involved in allegations of corruption.

This action was carried out since early January. Dozens of people have been questioned, such as officials and state civil servants (ASN) at the ministry.

Furthermore, investigators tried to ask for information from Syahrul on Friday, June 16. It's just that he was not present because he served abroad, India.

Syahrul admitted that he had asked for a postponement until 27 June. However, the anti-corruption commission continues to schedule an examination on Monday, June 19.
