The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has the opportunity to summon the Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin regarding the alleged bribery of the East Kolaka Regional General Hospital (RSUD) construction project. This possibility is open because investigators will control the flow of money in this case.

This was conveyed by the acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu after the announcement and detention of three new suspects in this case, Monday, November 24. He said investigators would definitely follow where the flow of bribes flowed.

The construction of this hospital was carried out using special allocation funds (DAK) from the central government.

"If it's time and indeed there are also statements that say that the flow of money or the flow of orders, yes, from the top manager at the Ministry of Health, of course we will also summon the person concerned for questioning," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday night, November 24.

Asep said that currently investigators are still exploring the knowledge of a number of parties.

"From the giver at the regional level, in this case, from East Kolaka, later to the ASN, to the Director General, and then," he said.

This deepening, said Asep, was carried out through several parties. One of them, Secretary of the Directorate General of Disease Management of the Ministry of Health Andi Saguni.

"Because of us, what we have obtained so far is the existence of kickback money from there, earlier there was Rp1.5 billion. From there, followed by us as we also look for or explore the flow of orders because there are two things, the flow of orders is usually the usual one or the formula," he said.
