JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled to examine five people to investigate allegations of bribery related to the administration of the Regional National Economic Recovery (PEN) fund on Tuesday, January 11.
One of those being investigated is the former Director General of Finance at the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Mochamad Adrian Noorvianto. All of those who were examined had the status of witnesses.
"Examination of witnesses for corruption related to the application for a 2021 Regional National Economic Recovery Fund (PEN) loan," said Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, to reporters, Tuesday, January 11.
In addition to Ardian, the four witnesses who will be examined are staff at the Regional Loan Sub-Directorate of the Directorate General of Regional Finance at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Irham Nurhali; state civil apparatus (ASN) at the Ministry of Home Affairs, Lisnawati Anisahak Chan; and Director of Financing and Investment of PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (PT SMI), Sylvi Juniarty Gani.
It is not yet known what examination material will be asked by the investigators of the five. However, those who were summoned by the KPK were suspected of knowing the alleged corruption being investigated.
For information, Ardian's name has been prevented from going abroad for six months. The goal is to prevent him from traveling abroad when investigators need his statement.
However, the KPK did not provide further details on the legal status of the former Director General of Finance at the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Previously reported, the KPK admitted that it was investigating allegations of giving and receiving bribes related to the 2021 Regional National Economic Recovery (PEN) loan application in East Kolaka, Southeast Sulawesi in 2021.
This allegation emerged after the KPK developed allegations of bribery in the procurement of goods and services originating from a grant from the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB).
At that time, the inactive East Kolaka Regent Andi Merya and the East Kolaka District Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Head Anzarullah were named suspects.
However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) does not want to specify who the parties are suspected to be involved in. Including the possible involvement of Andi Merya in this case.
