JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned the Secretary of the Planning and Development Agency of the Ministry of Manpower I Nyoman Darmanta today, Tuesday, September 19. He will be questioned as a witness to the alleged corruption in the procurement of the Indonesian labor protection system (TKI). "“Located at the KPK's Red and White Building, the investigative team scheduled a witness examination," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, September 19. I Nyoman, who was reportedly caught in this case, was examined along with three other witnesses. They are Agus Ramdhany, Agus Widaryanto, and Yurnalis Chan who are civil servants (PNS) of the Ministry of Manpower. Ali has not detailed the matter of the investigation. However, investigators have recently been busy investigating the flow of money allegedly sourced from the system procurement project. As previously reported, the KPK has announced that three suspects have been named in the case of procuring the protection system. Although not yet detailed, Nyoman is said to be entangled with the former Director General of the Ministry of Manpower who is now the Chairman of the Bali PKB DPW, Reyna Usman and a private sector. In investigating this case, several witnesses have been examined. One of them is the former Minister of Manpower (Menaker) Muhaimin Iskandar or Cak Imin who served for the 2009-2014 period on Thursday, September 7.

The value of the information system procurement project that is suspected to be the result of the perpetrators reached around Rp. 20 billion. Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata said that this system was allegedly corrupted until it could not be used to monitor migrant workers. “ Only computers can be used to type and so on. However, the system itself is not working, ” he told reporters in Jakarta, Thursday, August 24.
