KPK Only Performs 2 OTT Until The Middle Of The Year: Sorry, We're Actually Able

JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Fitroh Rochahyanto apologized for only being able to carry out two hand arrest operations (OTT) throughout the 2025 period. He actually believes that the silent operation can be carried out even more massively.

This was conveyed by Fitroh at the KPK Performance press conference in Semester I 2025 which was held at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, August 6.

"Throughout semester 1, two arrest operations have also been carried out and all of my friends have participated, yes, I'm sorry there are only two," said Fitroh in the activity.

"Actually, the KPK is actually able to make efforts to make a massive arrest operation," he continued.

In the future, Fitroh said that his party would seek more OTT. "We from the KPK hope to really provide a deterrent effect. Yes, please pray from friends, we can get more OTT," said the former Director of KPK Prosecution.

As for 2025, the KPK carried out its first OTT in March 2025 at Ogan Komering Ulu, South Sumatra. Six people were later named as suspects, namely Nopriansyah as Head of the PUPR Office of Ogan Komering Ulu Regency (OKU); Member of Commission III of the OKU DPRD Ferlan Juliansyah (FJ), Chairman of Commission III of the OKU DPRD M Fahrudin (MFR) as a Member of the OKU DPRD South Sumatra; and Chairman of Commission II of the OKU DPRD Umi Hartati (UH).

Then there are also suspects from the private sector, namely MFZ (M Fauzi alias Pablo) and ASS (Ahmad Sugeng Santoso).

The KPK said this case began in January 2025 or during the discussion of the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget Draft (RAPBD) of OKU Regency for Fiscal Year 2025. There was an evil consensus so that the 2025 Fiscal Year RAPBD could be implemented immediately.

One of the parties was said to have asked for the basic cost of thought or thought. In order not to be suspicious, this request was changed to a physical project at the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office amounting to Rp40 billion.

The details, for the chairman and vice chairman, get a project value of IDR 5 billion each. As for the members, they get IDR 1 billion.

Then, the second OTT was carried out by the KPK in the North Sumatra region on Thursday, June 26. It is suspected that money was given in the road construction project in the province.

From this silent operation, the anti-corruption commission then named Typhoon Obaja Putra Ginting or Typhoon Ginting as the Head of PUPR Office of North Sumatra Province as suspects along with four other people.
