Examine Head Of BPKD, KPK Explores DKI Jakarta Regional Budget Management Process Regarding Land Procurement In Munjul

JAKARTA - The investigative team of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is exploring financial management sourced from the DKI Jakarta Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD). This investigation was carried out to investigate the alleged corruption case in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, East Jakarta.

In this effort, the KPK examined four witnesses on Wednesday, August 4 yesterday. The examination was held at the KPK's Red and White House.

Those examined were the Head of the DKI Jakarta Regional Financial Management Agency (BPKD), Edi Sumantri, Head of the DKI Jakarta BPKD Financing Division Asep Erwin Djuanda, DKI Jakarta BPKD official Faisal Syafruddin, and a DKI Jakarta BUMD employee Farouk.

The four were examined as witnesses for the suspect, Rudy Hartono Iskandar, who is the Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur.

"All of the witnesses were present and confirmed, among others, their knowledge of the process of managing the DKI Jakarta Regional Budget," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, to reporters, Thursday, August 5.

The KPK suspects that in managing the budget, there is a budget that is used inappropriately. In particular, the budget related to land acquisition in Munjul.

"It is suspected that there is an inappropriate designation, especially regarding land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon Village, Cipayung District," said Ali. Previously, the anti-corruption commission had named four suspects in this case, namely the Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo, Tommy Adrian and Anja. Runtuwene, former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles, and Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) Rudy Hartono Iskandar.

In addition, the KPK has also named PT Adonara Propertindo as a suspect in corporate corruption.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank. Furthermore, this regionally owned company cooperates with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

As a result of this case, the state lost up to Rp. 152.5 billion. The KPK suspects that the money from the alleged corruption was used to finance the personal needs of the suspects.
