The Secretariat of the DKI Jakarta Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) is ready to process an employee named Hengki who is suspected of being involved in illegal levies (extortion) of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) detention center.

"If it turns out to be proven guilty, then we will process it to the Regional Personnel Agency (BKD) and the DKI Jakarta Provincial Inspectorate in accordance with Law 20 of 2023 concerning ASN (state civil servants)," Acting Secretary of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Augustinus told reporters quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, February 25.

Augustinus explained that this process will later be BKD which will follow up on what sanctions will be given to the person concerned.

However, he stated that until now there has been no coordination or contact by the KPK Council regarding involvement in extortion at the KPK detention center.

In addition, he also confirmed that Hengki was indeed working at the Secretariat of the DKI DPRD and was a transfer from the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) who previously served at the KPK Detention Center.

"Brother Hengki has started working at Setwan since early November 2022 and the person concerned is currently working well," he explained.

Moreover, he considered that Hengki had never been given a warning or disciplinary sanction so that the attitude as a staffing officer did not deactivate the person concerned.

The secretary of the DKI Jakarta DPRD emphasized that the 2018 incident at the KPK detention center was not the responsibility of his party.

"But we fully submit the legal process for brother Hengki 2018 to law enforcement officials or the KPK Council," he said.

Previously, the KPK revealed that it had named more than 10 people as suspects in the illegal levies (extortion) case at the KPK detention center.

"I mentioned the suspects because more than 10 people have been named as suspects," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri at the KPK's Red and White Building, South Jakarta, Tuesday.
