JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Alexander Marwata, is said to have contacted Syahrul Yasin Limpo or when he was still Minister of Agriculture (Mentan) to ask for a program in his hometown in Klaten, Central Java. This fact was conveyed by the former Secretary General (Secretary General) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Kasdi Subagyono, who is now a witness to the crown for SYL and former Director of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery (Alsintan), Muhammad Hatta. It started when Chief Judge Rianto Adam Pontoh questioned whether there was an introduction to one of the KPK's top brass. Kasdi at that time said that he personally never knew the anti-corruption agency officials. However, Kasdi said that investigators had conveyed a history of communication between SYL and one of the KPK leaders. "Did you hear or then the minister then had contact with one of the KPK officials? The KPK leadership?" asked Judge Rianto during a trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court, Wednesday, June 19. "I wasn't there, at that time there was a chat but it wasn't that. There was a chat he had, the investigators told me, there was a chat on the minister's cellphone later," said Kasdi. "Chatting between whom?" asked Judge Rianto to make sure "Between the minister and one of the KPK leaders," replied Kasdi. "What's his name?" said Judge Rianto. "At that time it was Mr. Alex Marwata," said Kasdi. Judge Rianto questioned what was discussed in the communication between SYL and Alex Marwata regarding sharing at the Ministry of Agriculture or others. Kasdi said the communication did not discuss the technical issues of collecting money at the Ministry of Agriculture. Instead, Alex Marwata asked for assistance from the Ministry of Agriculture program for his hometown in Klaten, Central Java. "Is there a connection with the previous brother, an investigation into the sharing at the Ministry?" asked Judge Rianto. "No, don't talk about it," said Kasdi. "What's the problem? The position, right?" asked Judge Rianto, who was answered by Kasdi. "In the chat, if I'm not mistaken, it was shown that Mr. Alex asked for help for his village, Klaten, to be supported by the Minister's program,". "Oh, ask for help for his village?" asked Judge Rianto to confirm. "Yes, for the village," said Kasdi. However, Kasdi admitted that he did not know the follow-up to SYL after the request. The only thing he remembered was the request when the case of alleged bribery and receiving gratuities had not yet been investigated. "Please allow Your Majesty, as far as I remember 2022 it will be before the investigation," said Kasdi. "Before the investigation. What was the request from the name?" asked Judge Rianto. "Mr. Alex," said Kasdi. "Mr. Alex Marwata to be assisted by his village, Klaten, to be given?" said Judge Rianto.
"The program was given. Then Mr. Alex also asked Mrs. Siti Nurbaya's number, that's what I know from her chat," said Kasdi.
