JAKARTA - The IDR 0 Down Payment (DP) home program will continue even though the Managing Director of Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan, is a suspect. Yoory is a suspect at the KPK in the land acquisition case.

"Yes, keep going. There is no problem. The program does not depend on the people there. Keep going", said the Head of DKI Jakarta Development Agency for Regional Owned Enterprises (BP BUMD), Riyadi, Jakarta, Monday, March 8.

Riyadi claims that this corruption case does not interfere with the cheap housing program. This program is Anies Baswedan's campaign promise in the election for governor of DKI Jakarta.

"Not bothered, keep going", Riyadi said.

In fact, he said, land procurement for cheap houses is continuing. It's just that the land acquisition has not been carried out because it is waiting for the budget to be disbursed.

"Yes, there is more, but the regional capital participation has not been disbursed, it is still in process. The location is exactly what it is in Sarana Jaya", Riyadi said.

Previously reported, the KPK confirmed that it was conducting an investigation into the alleged corruption case of land purchase for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's DP 0 Rupiah Program by DKI Jakarta BUMDs.

"It is true, after two sufficient preliminary evidences were found, the KPK is currently carrying out investigations into alleged TPK related to land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Rangon Village, Cipayung District, East Jakarta City, DKI Jakarta Province in 2019", said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri.

Shortly afterwards, Anies Baswedan dismissed Yoory C Pinontoan from the position of President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya.

"The governor at that time immediately made a decision to deactivate the person concerned. In this case, Yoory will follow the legal process by adhering to the presumption of innocence", said the Head of BP BUMD for DKI Jakarta Province, Riyadi.
