JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination of the Secretary General of the North Penajam Paser Democratic Party Branch Leadership Council, Syamsuddin alias Aco.

He will be questioned as a witness related to the alleged bribery case for the procurement of goods and services as well as licensing that ensnared the inactive North Penajam Paser Regent Abdul Gafur Mas'ud.

"The examination of witnesses for the procurement of goods and services as well as permits in North Penajam Paser Regency.
