JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it would recall two witnesses related to allegations of corruption in the distribution of fictitious funds by the Cooperative, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Revolving Fund Management Agency (LPDB-KUMKM) in 2012-2013 in West Java.

The summons was made after they failed to appear on the schedule determined by investigators on Monday, June 6 yesterday. The two witnesses were Head of Business Division II/2012 Yayat Supriyatna and Head of Business Division I Syahruddin.

"Both of them did not attend and were rescheduled," said Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri in a written statement, Tuesday, June 7.

The KPK is currently investigating allegations of corruption related to the distribution of fictitious funds by LPDB-KUMKM in 2012-2013 in West Java. It has not been specified who the parties are named as suspects and their actions.

Even so, the anti-corruption commission asked that whoever was later summoned had been asked to cooperate in order to make this case clear.

Not only that, the anti-corruption commission also asked the public to support the ongoing investigation. One way is to provide information to the KPK which can be done through the 198 call center.

As for the official announcement regarding the alleged corruption, it will be delivered when the arrest or detention is made.
