JAKARTA - Member of the Governor's Team for the Acceleration of Development (TGUPP) Bambang Widjojanto or familiarly called BW emphasized that the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has not covered anything regarding the implementation of the Formula E racing event.

That reason made them submit a number of documents to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"Let us give you the documents, please check. If anything else is needed, we will provide them all," BW told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, November 9.

"So that nothing is covered up. We don't want hanky-panky too," added the former KPK leader.

BW also said that the submission of documents related to the electric car race became a new tradition to show the openness and responsibility of state administrators.

"So we give all the documents. We also give the classified and evidential ones to law enforcement. That way, we really want there to be no more gossip about information. " he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the DKI Jakarta Inspectorate, Syaefulloh Hidayat, said that the documents submitted to the KPK were very complete from planning to the current process.

"The documents that we submitted are complete from the planning process to the final position. Hopefully it provides a complete picture of how we plan to implement Formula E," said Syaefulloh.

He also emphasized that his visit to the KPK was not to intervene in the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations. According to Syaefulloh, he and his entourage came to submit the required documents and provide support for the ongoing process.

"Our focus today is submitting complete documents. Regarding the material, perhaps it is the authority of the KPK but for sure we will support it. The DKI Provincial Government really supports the efforts made by the KPK in the context of preventing corruption in Jakarta," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK admitted that it was investigating allegations of corruption from the international Formula E racing event, which has always been in the public spotlight. Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, even said that his party had collected evidence by summoning those suspected of being involved.

"KPK is asking for information and clarification from several parties in order to collect data and information or information needed by the investigative team," said Ali.

He said the investigation was a follow-up to reports submitted by the public. Ali said, there are people who feel suspicious about the process of organizing Formula E in DKI Jakarta and report it to the KPK.

"This activity is of course a follow-up to the information submitted by the public regarding the implementation of Formula E in DKI Jakarta to the KPK," he said.
