JAKARTA - President of the Confederation of Indonesian Workers Unions (KSPI) Said Iqbal claimed to have sent a letter to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) regarding the alleged corruption case in financial management and investment by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan or BP Jamsostek of IDR 20 trillion.

Iqbal said, in the letter, KSPI asked President Jokowi and the AGO to save the labor funds that were at BP Jamsostek.

"We, the KSPI, have sent a letter 2 days ago to the Attorney General and the letter to the Attorney General has been officially copied to President Joko Widodo," he said, in a virtual press conference, Monday, February 15.

Iqbal said the KSPI and Indonesian workers were very confident that Jokowi would immediately take firm action in responding to the alleged corruption case in investment management at BP Jamsostek.

"We are very confident that Jokowi will pay attention and take action if the alleged indication of corruption of Rp. 20 trillion due to mismanagement of investment funds in BPJS Naker will definitely be taken," he said.

In addition, Iqbal explained that the origin of the BP Jamsostek alleged corruption case evaporated to the public. Initially, the Investigation Director of the Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes (Jampidsus) at the AGO, Febri Ardiansyah, indicated that there were allegations of corruption mismanaging investment funds in stocks and mutual funds amounting to Rp43 trillion.

However, said Iqbal, as of February 12, 2021, based on the information KSPI received, the corruption allegation had narrowed to Rp20 trillion. Meanwhile, allegations of corruption at BP Jamsostek Ketenagakerjaan with an investment of up to trillions have been investigated by the Attorney General's Office investigators since 2020.

According to Iqbal, his party has conveyed the total investment fund allocation of Rp. 486.3 trillion. BP Jamsostek funds are allocated 17 percent shares, and mutual funds 8 percent, so that the total is 25 percent.

"The investment funds allocated for stocks and mutual funds are 25 percent, 25 percent of Rp. 486.3 trillion, which means around Rp. 125 trillion, that's a huge fund. From the AGO's explanation, there are indications of mismanagement of Rp. 20 trillion, so there should be suspicions of corruption," he explained. .

For your information, the team of investigating prosecutors at the Deputy Attorney General for Special Crimes began examining related parties as witnesses in alleged corruption cases in financial and investment management by BP Jamsostek. The examination is based on the Investigation Warrant Number: Print-02 / F.2 / Fd.2 / 01/2021.

On Tuesday, February 19, the team of investigating prosecutors will examine ten witnesses and ten other witnesses will be questioned on Wednesday, February 20. The twenty witnesses were officials and employees of the Jakarta BPJS Ketenagakerjaan head office.
