This Is The Reason The Minister Of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo Was Examined Not At The KPK's Red And White Building

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) denies privileged the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo who was questioned at the KPK building C1 today. The examination was not carried out at the Merah Putih building for technical reasons alone.

"Indeed, the main examination is in K4 on the second floor. But, if for example it is full, well, we will move to the 4th floor of C1," Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, June 19.

Asep felt that Syahrul's examination place shouldn't be a problem. "Both, both C1 and K4 are the KPK offices. In these two places there are also two checkpoints," he said.

Previously, the KPK confirmed the investigation into alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture. This was in response to the circulation of the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo along with two of his subordinates, KSD and HTA, who were also involved in allegations of corruption.

This action was carried out since early January. Dozens of people have been questioned, such as officials and state civil servants (ASN) at the ministry.

Furthermore, investigators asked Syahrul for information on Friday, June 16. Then he was not present because he was on duty abroad and asked to postpone it until Tuesday, June 27.

However, the KPK continued to summon Syahrul on Monday, June 19 and he fulfilled the call. After being questioned he admitted that he was ready to cooperate with the investigation at the ministry he led.
