JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will monitor permits in the city of Yogyakarta, especially those in the Malioboro area. This step was taken after the former Mayor of Yogyakarta Haryadi Suyuti was named a suspect in the alleged bribery of issuing a building permit (IMB) for the Royal Kedathon Apartment.

Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata said his party would check the licensing issuance process in Yogyakarta, including Malioboro. Moreover, this area is included in the tourist reserve area.

"This means that later we can check in Jogja if there is, for example, a hotel building that was built during the period concerned (Hariyadi Suyuti, ed) who served as mayor, turns out to be violating the rules, yes, we will check later if there is anything," he added.

Alexander said that his party had often received complaints regarding the problematic licensing process in the city of Yogyakarta. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) can't do anything because it doesn't have any evidence.

The KPK, he continued, is only moving now because they have pocketed sufficient preliminary evidence. "I think it's been a long time since we've heard about problematic licensing processes in Yogyakarta," he said.

Haryadi Suyuti was named a suspect along with three other people. They are the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment Office and PTSP Nurwidhihartana; Hariyadi's personal secretary and aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono; and Vice President Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Oon Nusihono.

In this case, Haryadi, who just retired from duty last May, is suspected of receiving facilitation payments related to the issuance of the Royal Kedaton Apartment Building Permit (IMB) in the Malioboro area, Yogyakarta City. In fact, this building does not meet several requirements from the results of research and studies conducted by the PUPR Service.

The discrepancy, among others, relates to the height of the building and the position of the degree of slope of the building from the road area. To smooth the permit, Oon allegedly gave money to Haryadi through Triyanto and Nurwidhihartana up to Rp50 million.

Then, when the IMB was finally issued, Oon came to Yogyakarta to meet Haryadi at his official residence. At that time, he handed over US$27,258 in a brown paper bag or goodie bag.

This money was later confiscated by investigators as evidence in the silent operation that ensnared Hariyadi.

In addition, Haryadi is also suspected of receiving money from the process of issuing a development permit in the city of Yogyakarta. However, it is not known exactly how many there will be because the investigation will continue to be carried out by the anti-corruption commission investigators.
