JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is investigating allegations of corruption in the Indonesian House of Representatives. It is suspected that there was fraud in the procurement of goods and services.

However, the KPK does not want to talk much about this allegation. KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Karyoto confirmed that the investigation was still ongoing.

"I still hold on to the commitment that if the investigation is still in progress, of course we will not want to expose it," Karyoto said as quoted by the Indonesian KPK's YouTube, Sunday, July 24.

Karyoto said there were a number of parties who had been questioned. However, he did not specify anyone to maintain secrecy.

Moreover, at the investigation stage, the anti-corruption commission is still clarifying the allegations being targeted.

"If there are no witnesses in the investigation, yes, the parties who were called for clarification were asked," said Karyoto.

The KPK asked the public not to speculate further about the investigation into the alleged fraud in the procurement of goods and services. All parties are asked to respect the ongoing process.

"Of course we respect individual principles, of course we respect this," concluded Karyoto.
