JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) reminded witnesses related to the alleged corruption in land acquisition at SMKN 7 Tangerang Selatan to be cooperative, to fulfill the summons.
This warning was given after two witnesses were absent from the examination which was supposed to be held on Tuesday, November 9 yesterday.
The two witnesses were the Principal of SMK 7, Aceng Haruji and a private party named Agus Kartono. They should be checked at the Immigration Office Class I Non TPI Serang.
"Aceng Haruji and Agus Kartono were both absent and did not confirm the reason for their absence," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday, November 10.
Ali asked all parties called to cooperate and fulfill the inspection schedule. Moreover, the presence of witnesses is needed to make light of a criminal act that is being investigated by the KPK.
"KPK urges (witness, red) to be cooperative at the next summons schedule," he said.
Previously reported, the anti-corruption commission announced that it was investigating allegations of corruption at the Banten Province Education and Culture Office (Disdikbud). This riot is related to land acquisition to build SMKN 7 South Tangerang in 2017.
Not only that, the KPK has also conducted searches at the homes and offices of related parties in the Jakarta, South Tangerang, Serang, and Bogor areas. The search found evidence including documents, electronic goods and 2 cars.
Even though it has explained that there was a search, the KPK is still closed about the construction of this alleged corruption case and who has been named as a suspect. Later, information dissemination and announcements of those involved will be made when arrests or detentions are made.
