Cak Imin's Name Regarding The Ministry Of Manpower's Corruption Investigation, The KPK Makes Sure It's Not Related To Politics

Chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB) Muhaimin Iskandar (ANTARA)

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensures that the investigation into the alleged corruption in the procurement of Indonesia's labor protection system (TKI) in the Ministry of Manpower has nothing to do with political dynamics. This institution will certainly work according to existing regulations. This was conveyed by the Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri in response to the polemic of the emergence of the name Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin in the case. In fact, the General Chairperson of the National Awakening Party (PKB) has just been announced as a candidate for vice president (cawapres) who accompanies Anies Baswedan. We emphasize the political issue not a working area of the KPK," Ali told reporters in his statement quoted on Monday, September 4. Ali said that the anti-corruption commission was moving straight in enforcing legal issues. Thus, he hopes that no more parties would spread the narrative incompletely. After all investigation activities at the KPK are conveyed clearly to the public. Please listen and follow since when the process of handling the case is handled,'' he stressed. It has absolutely nothing to do with the ongoing political process," continued Ali.. Previously reported, the anti-corruption commission investigated allegations at the Ministry of Manpower related to the procurement of the TKI protection system. There are three suspects but their names have not been submitted to the public. However, information circulated that one of the suspects was mentioned that one of the suspects was the Secretary of the Planning and Development Agency of the Ministry of Man I Nyoman Darmanta. The suspects allegedly banned projects whose value reached Rp20 billion. The KPK ensures that all parties who knew the procurement process would be summoned. Including, Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin because he served as Minister of Manpower (Menakker) in 2012.

"All officials at the tempus (time) it is possible for us to ask for information," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, September 1. "Why? Because we have to get the clearest possible information, don't let A accuse B, and we don't ask for information about B then B, it's odd," he continued.
