JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has investigated other allegations of corruption at the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub). KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika said investigators were investigating while investigating the alleged bribery of the Ministry of Transportation's DJKA (Kemenhub).

"The point is that there are other potential procurements that may be problematic," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted Wednesday, August 21.

Even so, Tessa doesn't want to talk much about this allegation. He said investigators are still working on finding out.

"We are waiting for the information so we leave it to the investigators more optimally," he said.

Previously reported, the DJKA Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) bribery case began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) related to allegations of corruption at the Class I Railway Engineering Center for the Central Java Region. This action was carried out on April 11, 2023.

From the silent operation, the anti-corruption commission then named 10 suspects. Four parties are suspected of being bribers of the Director of PT Istana Putra Agung (IPA) Dion Renato Sugiarto (DIN); Director of PT Dwifarita Fajarkharisma, Muchamad Hikmat (MUH); Director of PT KA Management Properti until February 2023 Yoseph Ibrahim (YOS); and VP of PT KA Management Properti Parjono (PAR).

Meanwhile, those suspected of being recipients are the Director of Railway Infrastructure Harno Trimadi (HNO); Head of the Central Java Railway Engineering Center (BTP) Putu Sumarjaya; Commitment Making Officer (PPK) BTP Central Java Bernard Hasibuan (BEN); PPK BPKA South Sulawesi Achmad Affandi (AFF); PPK for Railway Infrastructure Fadliansyah (FAD); and PPK BTP West Java Synto Pirjani Hutabarat (SYN).

The KPK then announced two new suspects in this case on January 22, 2024. They are Yofi Okatrisza as ASN at the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) and former auditor of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) Medi Yanto Sipahutar.
