PDIP Legislator Sadarestuwati Targeted By KPK Regarding Projects At DJKA Ministry Of Transportation

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating the project at the Ministry of Transportation's DJKA (Kemenhub). This step was carried out by examining members of Commission V DPR Sadarestuwati as witnesses today.

"Witness S was present and his knowledge was explored regarding the project at the DJKA Ministry of Transportation," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters in a written statement, Friday, August 23.

Tessa said the examination was carried out at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta.

Meanwhile, Sadarestuwati did not say much after undergoing an examination.

"Yes, I was asked earlier. I'll ask the investigators later," he said while trying to avoid being chased by reporters waiting in the lobby of the building.

He did not specify the number of questions given by investigators. However, he denied when asked about the flow of funds in this case.

"Naudzubillah. No (received the flow of money in the DJKA case, ed). Nothing, I wasn't asked that," said Sadarestuwati.
