JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the investigation into the alleged corruption in the procurement of Formula E was not in order to thwart DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan in the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres).
Head of the KPK News Division Ali Fikri emphasized that the anti-corruption agency was not a tool to prevent Anies from running as a presidential candidate.
"It is not true, the follow-up process of public reports by the KPK began long before the hustle and bustle about the presidential candidate," Ali told reporters, Friday, September 30.
The news of this tackled tackle has been busy since Anies was questioned. The KPK ensured that the former Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) was only examined as a related party in the investigation process.
Moreover, the 2024 General Election and the performance of the KPK are certainly not correlated. The reason is that the anti-corruption commission works based on laws and legal rules.
Ali hopes that the news about Anies' burglary with the Formula E case will not continue. The KPK emphasized that it was not in politics in handling cases.
"We hope that the parties will not bring the KPK into the opinion on practical politics that will take place in the years to come," he said.
As previously reported, the anti-corruption commission confirmed that the party was investigating allegations of corruption in the Formula E racing event in DKI Jakarta. There are several parties who have been summoned, one of which is the Governor of DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan on Wednesday, September 7.
At that time, investigators examined Anies for 11 hours. After being examined, the former Minister of Education and Culture did not want to talk much about holding the international racing event.
At that time, Anies actually discussed the prevention of corruption that had been done. There are various steps, including implementing anti-corruption courses when they were rectors at Paramadina University.
Apart from Anies, 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 by the DKI Jakarta Dispora to pay the commitment fee to Formula E Operations (FEO).
