JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) reminded former DPR RI member Miryam S. Hariyani to fulfill the summons on Tuesday, August 13. His presence at the anti-corruption commission office is awaited by investigators in the corruption case of the electronic ID card procurement project (e-KTP).

"Sister MSH is actually scheduled for questioning on Friday. Rescheduling," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, August 12.

Tessa explained that Miryam's attorney had confirmed that his client would attend.

"So we are both waiting and we hope that the presence of sister MSH is in accordance with the results of the coordination between the legal advisor concerned and the investigator," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

As for Miryam's summoning status in this case, Tessa has not spoken much. He only said the former legislator had left the prison after being found guilty of committing obstruction in the investigation of the e-KTP corruption case.

"The person concerned is already outside. I don't have any information regarding the investigation material yet," said Tessa.

Previously reported, this corruption case in the procurement of e-KTP has cost the state up to Rp2.3 trillion if referring to the report of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK).

This case dragged the names of a number of high-ranking officials in the ministry, such as former Director General of Dukcapil Irman and former official at the Ministry of Home Affairs Sugiharto. In addition, there is also the name of former DPR Speaker Setya Novanto, former member of Commission III of the DPR Hanura Faction, Miryam S Haryani, a former member of Commission III of the DPR Markus Nari.

The KPK last named four new suspects in the e-KTP case in August 2020. They are former members of Commission II of the DPR from the Hanura Party faction, Miryam S Haryani, President Director of the Indonesian State Printing Corporation (PNRI) as well as Chairman of the PNRI Consortium Isnu Edhi Wijaya, Head of the Information Technology Technical Team for the Application of ID cards Husni Fahmi, and President Director of PT Sandipala Arthaputra, Paulus Tanos.
