Meanwhile, the Coordinator of the Yogyakarta City Independent Monitoring Forum, Baharuddin Kamba, said that the alleged bribery case currently being investigated by the KPK could be an entry point to investigate the issuance of various permits that have been carried out by the Yogyakarta City Government, not only building permits for apartments but also other commercial licenses.
"I think this case is also a valuable lesson for all State Civil Apparatus (ASN) and public officials in the Yogyakarta City Government to always obey the rules and not be easily provoked into accepting something in return", he said.
He also hopes that the role and function of the Yogyakarta City Government Inspectorate will continue to be strengthened to prevent potential corruption.
