JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects Robby Kurniawan, a former special staff of Budi Karya Sumadi when he served as Minister of Transportation (Menhub), as a money collector for the bribery project for the construction of the railway line of the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA).
This suspicion was said by KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to have been investigated from Bambang Irawan Dg. Irate Djamal who was examined as a witness today, May 13. Based on the information collected, this figure is a staff of Robby Kurniawan.
Meanwhile, Robby is an expert staff of Budi Karya in the field of logistics and multimodal. He then also became an expert staff of the Minister of Transportation Dudy Purwagandhi in the field of regions and environment.
"Today, a summons and examination was carried out for the witness, Brother BBG, yes," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday night, May 13.
Budi said Bambang was suspected of knowing about the money given by the former member of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Sudewo, who is now a suspect to Robby.
"Where from this RB, it is suspected that the money flowing from the SDW is cross to parties in the Ministry of Transportation which oversees DJKA related to the implementation of railway development projects, including the construction of railway lines in the East Java region," he said.
Even so, Budi did not specify who the parties in the Ministry of Transportation were who received the money. He only said that investigators would continue to investigate the flow of money from Robby, including if it came to the minister who was then in office.
"(There is a flow to Budi Karya when he was in office, ed) this is what we will investigate," he said.
"Because from today's examination there is a suspicion of money flow from Brother SDW through intermediaries, then to brother RB. Well, later from RB, whether there is a return flow from the money given by the parties on the side of the giver, we will investigate again whether it only stops at RB or still continues. "
As previously reported, the KPK continues to develop the bribery case for the East Java Regional Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub). Most recently, Sudewo as a former Member of Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2020-2024 was named a suspect.
Then, the KPK also promised to investigate the members of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the period 2019-2024 who enjoyed the flow of money. One of them is Lasarus as the Chairman of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives at that time and was said in the trial to enjoy a project fee of 10 percent.
Lasarus is suspected of receiving money flows with members of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the period 2019-2024 from various factions who are suspected of enjoying fees. They include Ridwan Bae, Hamka Baco Kady to Sadarestuwati.
