JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will summon the Mayor of Semarang, Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu or Mbak Ita in the near future. This step was taken after her pretrial motion was rejected by the South Jakarta District Court (PN).

"We are waiting for the investigator's summons schedule," said KPK Spokesperson Tessa Mahardhika to reporters quoted on Wednesday, January 15.

Tessa has not provided details about the summons schedule for Mbak Ita. However, this process will be carried out soon.

"We will provide an update," she said.

The South Jakarta District Court rejected the pretrial motion filed by Mbak Ita today, Tuesday, January 14. The rejection was also made against her exception or objection note.

With this decision, the investigation conducted by the anti-corruption commission is in accordance with procedure. Allegations of corruption in the procurement of goods and services within the Semarang City Government continue.

As previously reported, the KPK has begun investigating three alleged acts of corruption within the Semarang City Government (Pemkot). The details are procurement of goods and services within the Semarang City Government in 2023–2024, alleged extortion of civil servants related to incentives for collecting taxes and regional levies in Semarang City, and alleged receipt of gratuities in 2023-2024.

Searches have been conducted in various locations such as in Semarang City, Kudus, Salatiga, and others. From there, documents were found up to Rp1 billion and 9,650 euros and dozens of watches suspected of being related to the case.

In this case, Semarang Mayor Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu or Mbak Ita along with three other people have been banned from leaving the country for six months. They are her husband who is also the Chairman of Commission D of the Central Java Regional Representative Council (DPRD), Alwin Basri; Chairman of the Association of Indonesian National Construction Implementers (Gapensi) of Semarang City, Martono; and Rahmat Djangkar who is a private party.
