KPK Respects The Summons Of The Council On Investigators In The North Sumatra Road Project Bribery Case

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has invited the KPK Supervisory Board to ask investigators for information from the public prosecutors who handle the alleged bribery of road construction projects at the North Sumatra Province Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office and the National Road Development Work Unit (PJN) Region 1 North Sumatra.

KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said the summons was a form of supervision. Thus, the anti-corruption commission certainly respects the process.

"We respect the process that the examination by the Council is part of the supervision to ensure that every task force at the KPK is not only in accordance with the provisions and procedures, but also to follow the ethical and behavioral values as KPK personnel," Budi told reporters in a written statement, Thursday, December 4.

Even so, Budi said, the legal process in the case was in accordance with applicable regulations. "Starting from investigative actions, investigations, to prosecutions," he said.

The current KPK Supervisory Board is following up on reports of alleged efforts to hinder the summons of North Sumatra Governor Bobby Nasution in the alleged bribery of road construction projects at the North Sumatra Province Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office and the North Sumatra National Road Development Work Unit (PJN) Region 1. Head of the task force (kasatgas) investigators, Rossa Purbo, became the party reported and summoned on Thursday, December 4.

As previously reported, the Indonesian Student Activist Coalition (KAMI) reported Rossa for allegedly hampering the investigation into the involvement of the son-in-law of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in the corruption case of a road project in North Sumatra. The report was made on Monday, November 17.

"There are allegations that related to this case, one of the Head of the KPK Task Force allegedly on behalf of AKBP Rossa Purba Bekti," Yusril told reporters at the ACLC building or the KPK Council office, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta.

"Therefore, we, the Indonesian Student Activist Coalition, today provide information and reports," he continued.

"WE, still said Yusril, are demanding the KPK to conduct an evaluation. And a total internal audit," he said.

According to Yusril, it is appropriate for the KPK Council to examine Rossa. This is because there are many indications of Bobby's involvement as the son-in-law of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in the bribery case of a road project in North Sumatra.

Similarly, Usman as our Secretary also mentioned that Bobby should be examined. "But to this day what KPK friends have done today has not summoned Bobby Nasution himself," he said at the same location.

"So today we are present in front of the KPK council and at the same time submit a report against one of the KPK's task forces to question the independence of the KPK," he continued.
