Minister of Cooperatives and SMEs Budi Arie Setiadi visited the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) building in South Jakarta on Wednesday morning, May 21. Budi Arie's presence in the context of an audience discussed efforts to prevent corruption.
"It's true, today the KPK is scheduled to receive an audience from the Ministry of Cooperatives. The meeting will discuss various efforts to prevent corruption," said the KPK spokesman, Budi Prasetyo, when confirmed in Jakarta.
The meeting took place at the KPK's Red and White Building. Budi Arie arrived at around 10.17 WIB, wearing a white shirt with the Kemenkop logo and black trousers. He was accompanied by a number of officials from his ministry.
When he arrived, Budi Arie was reluctant to give a statement regarding the meeting. "Later yes," he said briefly before entering the building.
Budi Arie's presence in the midst of the public spotlight attracted attention, considering that his previous name was mentioned in the indictment of the alleged 'security' case of online gambling sites which are currently being tried at the South Jakarta District Court.
