KPK Detains 4 Of 21 Suspects In The Bribery Case In The Management Of The East Java Province Pokmas Grant Fund

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detained four of the 21 suspects in the bribery case for the management of grant funds for the East Java Province community group (pokmas) in 2019-2022.

One of the suspects detained was Hasanuddin, a member of the East Java DPRD for the period 2024-2029 and previously a private party from Gresik Regency, East Java.

"KPK has detained four suspects," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Thursday, October 2.

In addition, Jodi Pradana Putra was also detained as a private party from Blitar Regency, East Java; Sukar who is a former village head from Tulungagung Regency, East Java; and Wawan Kristiawan as a private party from Tulungagung. Asep said they were part of the suspect in giving bribes to the former chairman of the East Java DPRD Kusnadi.

"Seharusnya lima (tersangka yang ditahan, red) tapi untuk AR minta dijadwalkan ulang pemeriksaannya karena kondisi kesehatannya tidak memungkinkan," ungkapnya.

AR is the initials A. Royan as a private party from Tulungagung, East Java.

"The four suspects were detained for the first 20 days starting from October 2 to 21, 2025 at the Red and White KPK branch detention center," said Asep.

Asep detailed that the parties who had been detained gave bribes to Kusnadi with the following details:

The giving, continued Asep, was carried out in the capacity of the field coordinator (Korlap). They then highlighted Kusnadi's basic thought grant (pokir), which allotted Rp398.7 billion.

"Each corlap makes a proposal for a grant by determining the type of work itself, making its own budget plan (RAB), and the accountability report (LPJ) itself," explained Asep, who also serves as Director of KPK Investigation.

This consolidation is accompanied by the distribution of fees. Jodi, Hasanuddin, Sukar, Wawan, and A. Royan as Korlap also received a share.

In detail, Asep said, Kusnadi as a legislator who gets a fee of 15-20 percent; Korlap gets 5-10 percent; the pokmas management gets 2.5 percent; and the admin for making proposals and LPJ gets around 2.5 percent.

"So that the poor funds that are really used for community programs are only around 55 percent to 70 percent of the initial budget," he said.

As a result of his actions, these four suspects were then suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph (1) letter a or letter b or Article 13 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Amendments to Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption Jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code.
