"Yes, very surprised," said Jokowi when met at his residence in Sumber Village, Banjarsari District, Solo, Central Java, Tuesday, March 11.
Jokowi and Ridwan Kamil had served as chief executives at the same time, where Jokowi served as President of the Republic of Indonesia, while RK became Governor of West Java.
In addition, both of them were also on the same side in the 2024 Presidential Election, namely supporting the Prabowo Subianto - Gibran Rakabuming Raka pair. Ridwan Kamil even met Jokowi in Solo when he ran for governor of Jakarta in the 2024 Pilkada.
However, Jokowi admitted that he did not know about Ridwan Kamil's involvement in the alleged corruption case at Bank BJB. "Yes, I don't know," he said.
Jokowi also emphasized that all parties must respect the ongoing legal process. "Yes, we must respect all legal processes," he said.
Furthermore, he also appealed to the public and officials to take lessons from corruption cases that have recently emerged.
"I think everyone can learn from all the existing legal cases," he added.
Previously, the KPK investigating team conducted a search in Bandung to find evidence related to the alleged corruption case of Bank BJB advertising funds. One of the locations searched was Ridwan Kamil's private house.
"It is true that today there is an active search of BJB case investigators. However, for the official release, including the new location, it will be delivered when all activities have been completed," said KPK spokesman Tessa.
The KPK leadership also confirmed that one of the search locations was the residence of the former Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil.
"That's right," said Fitroh when confirmed. "Regarding the BJB case," added Setyo.
Responding to the search, Ridwan Kamil in his official statement admitted that the KPK team had visited his house.
"Bahwa benar kami didatangi oleh tim KPK terkait perkara di BJB," kata RK, Senin kemarin.
