The Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the alleged flow of bribes to members of the Bandung City DPRD regarding the case of the surveillance camera procurement project (CCTV) with the inactive BandungYana Mayor Mulyana.

JPUTito Jaelani said the allegation was obtained based on witness testimony in the trial of the accused who gave the bribe, so that the information would be developed at the next trials related to the case.

"Later, we will look for it. This is related to a lot of information related to the council, what does it have to do with the recipient (bribery)," Tito said after the trial at the Bandung District Court (PN), Bandung City, West Java, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, July 10.

From the testimony of witnesses, Tito explained that every procurement carried out within the Bandung City Transportation Service (Dishub) had a fee or allotment that had to be paid by the work implementing company of 10-15 percent of the project value.

His party will dig up the flow of a number of procurement projects. In addition, information was also obtained that a member of the council entrusted the company to get a project to the service.
