He was asked about the alleged consolidation of project auction winners.

"It was also confirmed regarding the alleged order from two officials at the Ministry of Manpower at that time who (now, red) became suspects in this case to condition the company that won the auction," Ali told reporters, Wednesday, September 20.

Ali has not detailed the two Ministry of Manpower officials who are now suspects. However, based on the information obtained, they are the Secretary of the Planning and Development Agency of the Ministry of Manpower I Nyoman Darmanta and the former Director General of the Ministry of Manpower who is now the Chairman of the Bali PKB DPW Reyna Usman.

In investigating this case, there are a number of witnesses who have been examined. One of them is the former Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin who served for the 2009-2014 period on Thursday, September 7th. The value of the information system procurement project which is suspected to be part of the perpetrators reached around Rp. 20 billion.
