The KPK Ensures That Its Employees Are Not Involved In Extorting K3 Certification Even Though Their Husband Is A Suspect

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that its employees are not involved in the alleged extortion related to the management of work safety and health certification (K3) even though their husbands are suspects. He has even undergone an examination shortly after the arrest operation (OTT) was carried out on Wednesday night, August 20.

The suspect who is said to have a wife of an anti-corruption commission employee is Miki Mahfud as a party of PT KEM Indonesia.

"The wife of MM's brother has also been investigated and there is no evidence or clues of the wife's involvement in the actions committed by her husband," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, August 26.

"So in the construction of the case, the act of alleged corruption is only carried out by the husband," he continued.

Although it was not proven that he was involved in the case of her husband, Budi said, the employee would be examined for ethics. The Inspectorate and Supervisory Board of the KPK will intervene.

"So the KPK in addition to ensuring that the actions or actions of the employee's behavior refer to the ASN code of ethics, namely through an examination at the inspectorate on employee discipline, the KPK also ensures that every attitude of the actions of the commission personnel is also in accordance with the code of ethics," he said.

This determination began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) that arrested 14 people, including the Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer.

The following is a list of suspects named by the KPK:

1. Irvian Bobby Mahendro as Coordinator for Institutional and Personnel Affairs K3 for 2022-2025;

11. Miki Mahfud as the party of PT KEM Indonesia.

The determination of the suspect began with an intensive examination and had found two pieces of evidence. It is suspected that this extortion has been going on for a long time.
