JAKARTA - Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Karyoto reluctant to talk much about his report to the KPK Supervisory Board. He only emphasized that he was ready if examined regarding the investigation into the alleged corruption in the implementation of Formula E in Jakarta. "I am the object being examined, yes, I will confirm it if it is examined," Karyoto told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, January 25. Karyoto said the report submitted by the non-governmental organization (NGO) was the domain of the KPK Council. He won't comment much. "I was accused, NGOs reported. So I went back to the Council, how is the evidentiary process," he said. Apart from Karyoto, KPK Director of Investigation Endar Priantoro was also reported to the KPK Supervisory Board for investigating the electric car racing event. Previously, KPK Council Member Syamsuddin Haris confirmed that someone had complained about Karyoto and Endar. It is suspected that there was a violation during the Formula E investigation process. "Yes, that's right (there was a complaint, ed)," said KPK Dewas member Syamsudin Haris to reporters, Tuesday, January 24. Syamsuddin did not specify the complaint. He only confirmed that the KPK Council was conducting the analysis after receiving the report. "It is being studied by the Council," he said. Meanwhile, regarding the process of investigating the racing event, KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said there were a number of obstacles they found during the Formula E investigation. One of them, they have not been able to ask for assistance from the British KPK or the Serious Fraud Office (SFO). Even so, the KPK has repeatedly conducted an exposure to the alleged corruption investigation in the implementation of Formula E in Jakarta. This step is considered good so that every development can be monitored. "It's natural that when solving an open investigation case, it is carried out by exposing many times and so on, it is actually good for us," said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri in Jakarta, Tuesday, January 17.
