JAKARTA - The Head of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Water Resources Office (SDA) has officially been reported to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for alleged corruption in the procurement of water pump machines in the 2025 budget year.

The report was submitted by the Etos Indonesia Institute on Friday, March 6, 2026. In addition to alleged corruption, the reporting party also accused of engineering practices in determining the winners of tenders for the procurement of goods and services in the environment of the SDA Service.

The Executive Director of the Etos Indonesia Institute, Iskandarsyah, stated that his party had submitted a number of documents as evidence to the anti-corruption agency. According to him, the value of the problematic project is very fantastic.

"The procurement of pumps in the 2025 APBD. The value is fantastic, it's a trillion," said Iskandarsyah.

He explained that this alleged corruption began with a long-standing monopoly practice. So far, there have only been three companies that have consistently won the tender for the procurement of pumps in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government environment. The tender process is also suspected of having determined the winner from the beginning.

"Well, this is what we have to open up to the public as widely as possible," he said.

According to Iskandarsyah, the vendors who monopolize procurement are also suspected of having a strong network with a number of officials in the DKI Provincial Government environment.

In fact, Iskandarsyah linked the replacement of a number of heads of departments that occurred on February 28, 2026 with the interests of the vendors.

He suspected that the rotation of officials was prepared to perpetuate the practice of monopoly procurement.

"There are indications. There is. There is potential," he said.

Iskandarsyah suspected that the flow of funds from this corrupt practice also flowed into the accounts of certain political parties, although he did not know which party was involved.

"I don't know if this corrupt money went into one of the political parties, I don't know. Later we'll see," he said.

Iskandarsyah also explained that the step of reporting the case back to the KPK was taken because previous reports submitted by the public to the Attorney General's Office, Tipikor Mabes Polri, and the KPK were considered not to be followed up seriously.

For this reason, he plans to simultaneously push this issue to the legislative level by sending an official letter to Commission III of the DPR RI.

"I will also simultaneously write a letter to Commission III of the DPR to immediately summon the three institutions. [namely] the Attorney General's Office, Tipikor Mabes Polri, and the KPK," he said.

On the other hand, Iskandarsyah also asked the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, to be firm and fully support the ongoing legal process.

"We also ask the Governor, Mas Pram, to be firm to be able to solve it internally. At least support this legal process," he said.

Iskandarsyah hopes that the KPK can immediately follow up on the report for the sake of transparency in the use of regional budgets, especially in the vital flood management project in Jakarta.

Until this news was published, the DKI Jakarta Regional Agency for Natural Resources and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government had not provided official information regarding the report.
