JAKARTA - The Executive Director of Lokataru Foundation, Haris Azhar, revealed that the alleged corruption in the land purchase for the Rp 0 DP housing program was apparently dismantled by BUMD employees of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya.

Hariz Azhar said, there were 5 people who reported cases of suspected corruption in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, East Jakarta. They have reported to the KPK since several months ago.

"These five people have the task of acquiring land for the DKI Regional Government's projects. It turns out that in the land acquisition procurement, one of them in Pondok Ranggon has a price mark up. Then, they reported it to the KPK," said Haris Azhar in Kompas TV's Aiman program, Monday, March 15th.

Haris Azhar said, the five people who exposed this corrupt practice must receive protection from the KPK. Because, when they reported this, the lives of the five people were disturbed. They were even reported to the DKI High Prosecutor's Office.

"They should be protected by the Corruption Eradication Commission. These children have had their lives disturbed until now. The KPK must speak to the DKI High Prosecutor's Office that the case should sit with the KPK, where is the relevance. They should not be disturbed," said Haris Azhar.

The five people, said Haris Azhar, were looking for problems from other projects by Sarana Jaya officials. According to him, this report to the High Prosecutor's Office seems far-fetched. This is because the reported project actually benefits the DKI Provincial Government.

"Indeed (the report) was sought to attack them, the whistle blowers (reporting witnesses). This happened after they made a report to the KPK. In fact, the case reported to the AGO actually benefits the DKI Provincial Government, because it does not use the DKI Regional Budget (APBD) scheme. , "he explained.

For information, the Corruption Eradication Commission has confirmed that it is conducting an investigation into the alleged corruption case in the purchase of land for the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's DP Program by the DKI Jakarta BUMD

Shortly afterwards, Anies Baswedan dismissed Yoory Corneles 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 Acting Head of BP BUMD for DKI Jakarta Province, Riyadi.

Meanwhile, Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, confirmed that his party will give Yoory the opportunity to defend himself in his legal case.

"We are giving opportunities to Yoory and the others who will also be able to defend themselves," said Riza.

Riza wants to apply the presumption of innocence and give Yoory the opportunity to reveal information with the existing facts and data. Riza also respects the investigation into the alleged corruption case being investigated by the KPK.

"Let us respect all this process, whoever enforces the law later. We will see the results according to the facts on the data in the field based on the results of investigations from the KPK," he said.
