JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) does not want to talk much about the Mayor of Semarang Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu or Mbak Ita, which turned out to be in the middle of last week. KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika only said that investigators would take follow-up.

Mbak Ita was supposed to be questioned on Tuesday, February 11 as a suspect along with her husband who is also the Chairman of Commission D of the Central Java Provincial DPRD, Alwin Basri. However, at that time he was not present on the grounds that he had to be hospitalized.

However, Mbak Ita through her Instagram account, @mbakitasmg was actually seen attending the wedding on Sunday, February 16 yesterday. The PDIP politician looked fresh and happy to greet a number of guests and brides.

"I will not give a response from that side. What is clear is that if the investigator assesses that the person concerned is considered healthy to attend, it is very likely that investigators will take actions," Tessa told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, February 17.

Tessa has not detailed the actions that investigators will take. He said this step would only be carried out this week.

"It is possible that action will be taken against HGR's sister, HGR's sister and her husband. Actions in the sense of investigation. What form, I still can't open at this time," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK had detained two suspects in a corruption case within the Semarang City Government (Pemkot), Central Java on Friday, January 17. They are Martono who is the Chairman of the Association of Indonesian National Construction Implementers (Gapensi) of Semarang City and Rachmat Djangkar.

Martono was detained for allegedly participating in receiving gratuities together with the Mayor of Semarang Hevearita Gunaryanti Rahayu alias Mbak Ita and her husband, Alwin Basri who also serves as Chairman of Commission D of the Central Java Provincial DPRD.

Meanwhile, Rachmat was detained for allegedly giving bribes related to the procurement of tables and elementary school chairs at the Semarang City Education Office.

Currently, there are three allegations of corruption that allegedly occurred and are being investigated. The details are the procurement of goods and services at the Semarang City Government in 2023-2024, the alleged extortion of civil servants related to incentives for collecting taxes and levies in the Semarang City area as well as the alleged receipt of gratuities in 2023-2024.
