JAKARTA - The deputy chairman of the Golkar Party, Adies Kadir, emphasized that the KPK's search of the house of former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil or Kang Emil had nothing to do with the party bearing the banyan symbol.
Adies said that his party did not yet know what the relationship between Ridwan Kamil's house and the alleged corruption of PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk (BJBR).
"Yes, we don't know yet what it is related to, yesterday it was only BJB. But BJB is a case where we don't know. We will try to coordinate later to ask the person concerned regarding what was being searched at his house," said Adies Kadir at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, March 12.
Moreover, continued Adies, Ridwan Kamil only joined the Golkar Party in 2024. Meanwhile, the alleged corruption case at Bank Jabar Banten (BJB) allegedly related to the make-up of advertising funds reached Rp200 billion during the period 2021-2023.
"But in principle, Golkar didn't really know what he was doing when he was governor of West Java for the past period. At that time he was not yet in Golkar, indeed at that time he wanted to be included in the deputy chairman but had not yet been registered, had not been registered with the ministry of law at that time. It was only this period that he was included in one of the deputy chairmen," explained Adies.
"So indeed our coordination is not yet intense, because he is still a new cadre," he continued.
Nevertheless, Adies said he would ask the Golkar Party Bakumham to provide legal assistance to Ridwan Kamil, who is currently a witness.
"For example, what kind of communication has been made. But what is certain is that this is a personal matter in question, it has nothing to do with the Golkar Party," concluded the Deputy Speaker of the DPR.

In the future, the KPK has the opportunity to summon Ridwan Kamil for questioning. However, Setyo said that the exact time will be regulated by the task force (task force) team that handles this alleged corruption.
"I return it to the investigators. That is a technical matter for investigators, the director of investigators, the cassation, which will determine according to their needs," said the former Inspector General of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan).
