JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will examine Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin on Thursday, September 7. He will be questioned as a witness in a corruption case in the procurement of the Indonesian labor protection system (TKI) at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker). "The investigative team has communicated to reschedule the examination of Muhaimin Iskandar as a witness in the alleged corruption case at the Ministry of Manpower," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, September 6. Ali said that this time was considered the most effective for investigators and Cak Imin as the examinee. Thus, the General Chair of the National Awakening Party (PKB) must not avoid calls. "The rescheduling is as previously requested by the witness when delivering confirmation of his absence from the summons to attend on Tuesday, September 5," he said. "Rescheduling to attend on Thursday is certainly a more effective time so that both parties, both the investigative team and witnesses, can schedule the examination process," continued Ali. As previously reported, the anti-corruption commission will ask for information from Cak Imin because he had served as Minister of Manpower for the 2009-2014 period in the era of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's leadership. However, the General Chairperson of the National Awakening Party (PKB) could not attend because he had to visit the scheduled event. " “ I have been scheduled by Jami'atul Quro's friends wal Huffadz (JQH) of the organization of hafiz and qori Quran NU, so I have been scheduled for a long time to open the MTQ International forum from many countries, as deputy chairman of the DPR I have to open it,” said Cak Imin quoted from Najwa Shihab's Youtube account which aired on Monday night, September 4. This reason made Cak Imin ask the KPK to postpone the examination. In the future, he ensures that he will be present to fulfill the investigator's summons and is ready to explain whatever he knows. "I have to respect and fully support all the steps taken by the KPK. I am committed, that's why I was asked to come by the KPK several times, I came and I explained everything," he said. In the case of corruption in the TKI protection system, the KPK said that three suspects had been named. Although not yet announced, the Secretary of the Planning and Development Agency of the Ministry of Manpower I Nyoman Darmanta is reportedly involved. The value of the information system procurement project that is suspected to be the result of the perpetrators reached around Rp. 20 billion. Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said that this system was allegedly corrupted until it could not be used to monitor migrant workers.

“ Only computers can be used to type and so on. However, the system itself is not running, @rdquo; Alexander told reporters in Jakarta, Thursday, August 24.
