JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan to provide information related to the investigation into the alleged corruption case in the implementation of Formula E. A member of the DKI Jakarta DPRD from the Gerindra faction, Mohamad Taufik, assessed that this summons was necessary to clarify the case being investigated by the anti-corruption agency. "I see that the KPK really needs to call Mr. Anies in the context of an explanation to make it clearer. There is no problem, in my opinion," Taufik told reporters, Wednesday, September 7. Moreover, Taufik believes that the KPK can be objective in tracing allegations of corruption at the electric car racing event that was held on June 4. However, Taufik also invited Taufik to "Until now we still think that the KPK will assess Pak Anies as optimally possible," he said. As is known, Anies arrived at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, Wednesday, September 7. When he arrived, he who was wearing a white official shirt seemed to wave and occasionally gave a thumbs up. Regarding the investigation of Formula E, a number of parties have also been summoned. One of them, the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edy Marsudi, who admitted that he explained about the loan of Rp180 billion from the DKI Jakarta Dispora to pay the commitment fee to Formula E Operations (FEO). The KPK did not specify what would be asked of Anies. Ali said this was due to allegations that Formula E corruption was still under investigation. It is hoped that Anies' statement will be able to shed light on the alleged corruption. "In principle, the request for information is intended as a need for an investigation process that is being carried out by the KPK," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters.
