JAKARTA - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigators are investigating the flow of money from the inactive South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin Abdullah to a number of parties. The investigation was carried out by examining the private sector on Monday, March 29.

"Nenden Desi Siti Nurjanah, private, was confirmed regarding his knowledge of the alleged flow of money that allegedly came from the suspect NA (Nurdin Abdullah) to various parties," said Acting KPK spokesperson for prosecution Ali Fikri in a written statement, Tuesday, March 30.

Apart from examining Nenden, the KPK also scheduled examinations for two other private parties, namely Eka Novianti and Siti Mutia. The two of them were examined as witnesses for Nurdin, who was caught in a bribery case for infrastructure procurement in the South Sulawesi Provincial Government.

However, the two witnesses were not present and there was no confirmation of the information. In this regard, the KPK asked the two witnesses who were not present to cooperate in fulfilling the next summons.

"The KPK reminded the witnesses who have been and will be summoned properly to be cooperative in attending to fulfill the summons sent by the investigating team," said Ali.

Previously reported, the inactive South Sulawesi Governor Nurdin Abdullah was named a suspect in the case of alleged bribery and gratification related to the procurement of goods and services, licensing and infrastructure development in the South Sulawesi Provincial Government for the 2020-2021 Budget Year.

This PDIP politician was named a suspect with the Secretary of the PUPR Office of South Sulawesi Province, Edy Rahmat. Meanwhile, the Director of PT Agung Perdana Bulukumba (APB) Agung Sucipto was named a suspect in giving bribes.
