JAKARTA - Former Governor of East Java (Jatim) Khofifah Indar Parawansa responded casually about himself being reported to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

According to him, six years ago he was also reported by the same party when he was about to run as a candidate for governor of East Java in the 2018 Pilkada.

"Yes, it happened exactly 6 years ago, when we ran the campaign, I think the same party said that," said Khofifah on Jalan Kertanegara, South Jakarta, Friday, June 7.

Khofifah was reluctant to respond further regarding her report to the KPK. He then asked the public to see for themselves the report referred to in the KPK public complaint (dumas).

"Maybe you can check what the dumas report looks like," he said.

Previously, Khofifah Indar Parawansa was reported to the KPK regarding project work at the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos) in 2015. It is suspected that there was a state loss that occurred when he served as Minister of Social Affairs (Mensos)

"What we reported was the chairman, the Minister (at that time, ed) Khofifah Indar Parawansa, the two PPK and the KPA, the three of them," said Head of the Civil Community Communication Forum Sutikno at the KPK's Merah Putih building, South Jakarta, Tuesday, June 4.

Sutikno said his presence at the anti-corruption commission was not the first time. A similar report was also submitted in 2018 or six years ago but was not followed up.

Therefore, he initiated to return to the KPK office. Sutikno admitted that he brought additional evidence in the form of files from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

"In the past, six years ago we reported it, we calculated the loss of Rp. 58 billion while we just got an audit from the BPK, the loss of the project we reported was Rp. 98 billion in the case at the Ministry of Social Affairs in 2015, the verification and validation program for the poor," he explained.
