The KPK Cannot Find The Sidoarjo Regent Who Is Said To Have Enjoyed The BPPD ASN Incentive Money

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that Sidoarjo Regent Ahmad Muhdlor Ali could not be found during a hand arrest operation (OTT). In fact, Muhdlor and the Head of the Sidoarjo BPPD Ari Suryono are suspected of enjoying the money from the cut in incentives of the employees.

"We actually simultaneously carry out the process, trying to find the person concerned (the Regent of Sidoarjo, ed) from Thursday to Friday," said KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron to reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, January 29.

However, Mudhlor was not found, so only the Head of the General Subdivision of the Sidoarjo BPPD Siska Wati was named a suspect. Even so, Ghufron ensured that the involvement of the Sidoarjo Regent would continue to be investigated.

In fact, forced pick-up efforts will be carried out if necessary. We call one to two times, the third call is of course with a forced pick-up effort," he said.

He also ensured that the investigation process for the alleged deduction of incentive money would continue.

Previously reported, the anti-corruption commission has named Siska Wati, the Head of the General Division of the Sidoarjo BPBD, as a suspect for allegedly cutting the ASN BPPD Sidoarjo incentive to Rp. 2.7 billion in 2023. Meanwhile, during the silent operation, Rp. 69 million was found.

The money was allegedly used for the needs of the Sidoarjo Regent and the Head of the Sidoarjo BPPD. As a result of his actions, Siska is now being held at the KPK Detention Center for the first 20 days.
