JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has completed the examination of Deputy Chairperson of Commission IV of the DPR RI, Dedi Mulyadi, as a witness. This investigation is related to the bribery case of project management in Indramayu, West Java.

After being questioned, he admitted that he was asked about the alleged receipt of bribes by West Java DPRD member Ade Barkah Surahman and former West Java DPRD member Siti Aisyah Tuti Handayani.
