Agree That KPK Summons Anies And Chairman Of DPRD Regarding Land Corruption, PSI: Must Be Dismantled Immediately

JAKARTA - Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPW PSI Michael Victor Sianipar supports the KPK's plan to summon DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and Chairman of the DKI DPRD Prasetio Edi Marsudi for questioning related to the corruption case in land acquisition for the Rp0 house program.

Michael believes that the KPK must thoroughly investigate the corruption case in land acquisition in Munjul, East Jakarta, which was carried out by the former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory C. Pinontoan.

"This case must be immediately dismantled so that the KPK can immediately confiscate state losses and we can use the money for the emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Jakarta," Michael told reporters, Monday, July 12.

Michael said that the KPK should not hesitate to call officials involved or know about the land acquisition process in Munjul, so that the corruption case can be revealed.

"Even if it is Governor Anies or members of the DPRD, all of them must be ready to be summoned and give information because the people are clearly harmed by this corruption," he said.

Previously, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed that it would send a summons to the DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi.

Both of them were summoned to be investigated for the alleged corruption case of land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. Anies and Prasetyo's investigation is needed to clarify the alleged corruption that caused the state to lose up to Rp12.5 billion.

"Regarding the land acquisition program, of course, in the preparation of the DKI APBD budget program, the DKI Governor is very understanding as well as the DKI DPRD which has the task of authority to set the RAPBD into a APBD together with the DKI Regional Government," said KPK Chair Firli Bahuri.

"So of course it is necessary to ask for information so that it becomes clear," he added.

Firli said that the KPK wants this case to be fully disclosed for the sake of legal certainty and to create a sense of justice and benefit for the community.

Therefore Firli ensured that his subordinates would work hard to investigate the alleged corruption and ensnare anyone involved, including from the legislative and executive elements.

"We will reveal all parties suspected of being involved, both from the legislative and executive circles. The budget for land acquisition is a huge loss to the state. So whoever the perpetrators are involved with sufficient evidence, we will not indiscriminately because that is the working principle of the KPK," said the former Deputy for Enforcement that.
