Anies will be questioned with the Chairman of the DKI DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi as witnesses to complete the case file for the former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles, a corruption suspect.

"So I myself don't know what information is needed, but God willing, I will attend according to the invitation given by the KPK tomorrow at the KPK office," Anies told reporters, Monday, September 20 evening.

Previously, the Deputy Governor of DKI, Ahmad Riza Patria, emphasized that Anies and Prasetyo were law-abiding officials. This is because Prasetio has been questioned by the KPK on other cases. Meanwhile, Anies was also questioned by the police for the Rizieq Shihab crowd case some time ago.

In fact, Riza believes that Anies and Prasetio are not involved in the corruption case in land acquisition in Munjul, East Jakarta.

This summons, he continued, was needed to make the actions of the perpetrators of the riot clear and clear. Moreover, currently investigators are continuing to complete Yoory's file and will call a number of witnesses.
