JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the search related to the alleged corruption of performance allowances at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources was still ongoing today, Monday, March 27. Activities are not only carried out at the Office of the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal but also targeting the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Building. "Earlier at the Directorate General of Mineral and Coal ESDM, now the latest information is at the ESDM Office on (Jalan, red) Merdeka (South, red)," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, March 27. Ali did not want to specify what findings were obtained. He could only inform that the activities were carried out to investigate the alleged deduction of performance allowances at the ministry led by Arifin Tasrif. They continue to look for evidence because the cuts allegedly occurred for tens of billions and were used for the benefit of the suspects, such as buying assets. Not only that, Ali also said that it was suspected that he had cut this performance allowance to pay for operations related to the examination process of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). "But we are still investigating all of that, yes, the information," he said. "Facts (continue to be sought, red) where the money is suspected to have been cut by Tukin from employees at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources 2020-2022," said Ali. Furthermore, Ali said that this corrupt practice was not only carried out by one person. However, he has not been able to detail the number and names of the suspects. "The parties named as suspects, the full description of the alleged criminal charges and the articles that are suspected will be conveyed if the collection of evidence by the investigative team has been fulfilled," he concluded.
