JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will ask for information from a number of officials from PT Bank Pembangunan Daerah Jawa Barat and Banten, Tbk (BJB) or BJBR regarding allegations of corruption in the procurement of advertisements for the period 2021-2023.
The summons has been signed by the Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu.
"In the near future, we will also ask for information from several officials at BJB," Asep told reporters quoted on Saturday, July 26.
Asep did not specify who the parties would ask for this information. He only said investigators were investigating the non-budget funds of this advertising project.
The funds, continued Asep, were used for activities that were not officially budgeted by Bank BJB.
"For example, if there are activities, for example birthdays, etc., what should be provided, then what events must there be and there is no such thing (budget, ed), well, this is taken from non-budget funds," he said.
The Director of KPK Investigation explained that the allegations were that non-budget funds were taken from the remaining money to be paid to the agency company.
"Where did the non-budget funds come from? There is an advertising project. Yes, this is an advertising project, for example, the advertiser went to the media for 10, then it was accounted for by 20. So there are the remaining 10. Well, that's what was then used as non-budget funds," explained Asep.
"Later, the use will depend on the President Director for needs that are not relaxed," continued Asep.
