JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will again summon television presenter, Brigita Purnawati Manohara. His examination as a witness regarding the alleged bribery and gratification that ensnared the Regent of Central Mamberamo Ricky Ham Pagawak has not yet been completed.

"The investigative team will also call this witness again to confirm the other evidence," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, July 26.

Ali did not specify when Brigita would be called back. However, he confirmed that the presenter's information was still needed to investigate Ricky's alleged racist practice.

Moreover, the KPK has just received the handover of money from Brigita amounting to Rp.480 million, which is thought to have come from Ricky. "After we checked, it was true that the money had been entered," said Ali.

"Next, the evidence of the money will be analyzed and further confirmed with witnesses and suspects," he continued.

Brigita admitted that he had returned the money he received from Ricky Ham Pagawak to the KPK. The total amount reaches Rp. 480 million

According to him, the gift is a form of Ricky's appreciation for his work as a presenter and communication consultant.

As previously reported, the KPK continues to investigate allegations of bribery and gratification in Central Mamberamo. A number of witnesses have been called and searches have been carried out.

However, in the midst of this investigation, the Regent of Central Mamberamo Ricky Ham Pagawak fled. He fled to Papua New Guinea by way of a rat with the help of his aides.

The anti-corruption commission investigators are still pursuing Ricky. People who know Ricky's whereabouts are asked to provide information.
