"Investigators want to delve into the meaning and purpose of the gift from SRJ," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, April 1.

Meanwhile, regarding the money allegedly given by Sarjan to Ono, Budi did not want to answer further. "This is still being investigated, yes, regarding the amount. How much money was given," he said.

"And of course, more importantly, the substance, why, for what SRJ is giving a certain amount of money to ONS," continued Budi.

In this case, the KPK has already examined Ono as a witness on Thursday, January 15. He admitted that he had received dozens of questions from investigators, including those related to the flow of money for the alleged bribery of the ijon project that ensnared the non-active Regent of Bekasi Ade Kuswara.
