JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) continues to investigate the role of Azis Syamsuddin in managing the Central Lampung Regency Special Allocation Fund (DAK) in 2017 when he was Deputy Chair of the Indonesian Parliament.

This was done by investigators by summoning six witnesses to complete the file belonging to Azis Syamsuddin, who is now designated as a suspect in the alleged bribery of DAK management. The examination was carried out on Friday, November 5 at the Bandar Lampung Police Station, Bandar Lampung City.

The six witnesses examined by KPK investigators were the Civil Servant (PNS) of the Central Lampung Bina Marga Office, Supranowo; former Head of Highways of Central Lampung Regency, Taufik Rahman; and Civil Servant of the Department of Highways of Central Lampung Andri Kadarisman.

In addition, the KPK also examined PNS/Head of Sub-Division of BPBD Reconstruction in Central Lampung Regency, Aan Riyanto; private sector or the Director of CV Tetayan Consultant, Dariyus Hartawan; and Central Lampung ASN Indra Erlangga.

"The witnesses were present and confirmed, among others, related to the alleged role of suspect AZ in managing the application for DAK funds (Special Allocation Funds) for Central Lampung Regency in 2017," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, November 8.

In this case, Azis Syamsuddin has been named a suspect in connection with the alleged bribery in handling corruption cases that are being handled by the KPK in Central Lampung.

After being detained, the inactive deputy chairman of the Golkar Party was detained for the first 20 days until October 13 at the South Jakarta Police Rutan.

The KPK suspects that Azis and former General Chairperson of the PP Youth Forces of the Golkar Party (AMPG) Aliza Gunado gave bribes to KPK investigator Stepanus Robin Pattuju (SRP) worth Rp 3.1 billion from the Rp 4 billion agreement. This provision was made so that the former investigators would secure their position in the alleged corruption of the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) in Central Lampung.
