JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that former Yogyakarta Mayor Haryadi Suyuti intervened in the process of procuring goods and services. This allegation was investigated by examining the Head of the Yogyakarta City Procurement Service, Joko Budi Prasetyo. Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said the examination of Joko was carried out on Monday, September 12 yesterday. He was examined as a witness in the alleged bribery case against Haryadi. "This witness was confirmed by investigators regarding the knowledge of the alleged intervention of the Mayor of Yogyakarta and other parties in every procurement of goods and services within the Yogyakarta City Government," Ali said in a written statement to reporters, Tuesday, September 13. It was not explained who other parties also intervened in the procurement of goods and services at the Yogyakarta City Government. However, Joko's statement is considered to be able to make light of the alleged bribery being investigated by the KPK. As previously reported, Haryadi Suyuti was named a suspect along with three other people who were also named suspects in the bribery case for building permits. They are the Head of the Yogyakarta City Government Investment Office and PTSP Nurwidhihartana; private secretary and Hariyadi aide, Triyanto Budi Yuwono; and Vice President of Real Estate PT Summarecon Agung Tbk, Oon Nusihono. Haryadi, who was just retired last May, is suspected of receiving a facilitation fee related to the issuance of a Building Permit (IMB) for the Royal Kedaton Apartment in the Malioboro area, Yogyakarta City. In fact, this building does not meet several requirements from the results of the research and study conducted by the PUPR Service. This discrepancy is related to the height of the building and the position of the slope of the building from the area of the road. To minimize licensing, Oon is suspected of giving 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 money in the amount of 27,258 US dollars in a brown paper bag or goodie bag. In addition, Haryadi is also suspected of receiving money from the process of issuing a construction permit in the city of Yogyakarta. However, it is not known for sure how much it will be because the investigation will continue to be carried out by KPK investigators.
