The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was asked to investigate the involvement of other parties in the bribery case for road construction projects at the PUPR Service and PJN Satker Region 1 North Sumatra.
Indonesia Calling (IM) 57+ Institute assesses that acceptance is impossible only by the Head of Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Topan Obaja Putra Ginting or Typhoon Ginting.
"It is very possible that the head of the service is not doing this alone but is a continuation of other parties," said the Chairman of the IM57+ Institute, Lakso Anindito, to reporters in a written statement quoted on Monday, June 30.
Lakso said that the KPK had often investigated cases like this. Where the subordinates turned out to deposit a sum of money on parties whose positions were higher.
"This can be found in almost all cases that have been handled by the KPK," said the former KPK employee.
The IM57+ Institute also appreciated the KPK's work in carrying out a hand arrest operation (OTT) which resulted in the determination of five suspects including Typhoon Ginting. Lakso said that courage has been shown even though Sumatra Urara is led by the son-in-law of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo, Bobby Nasution.
Lakso also believes that the KPK can carry out development even though the money found in the silent operation is only Rp. 231 million.
"Being the difference between the KPK is the ability of the KPK to develop the cases it handles so that it is capable of not only cases detected through OTT but dismantling corrupt networks either through follow-up investigations or investigation development," he explained.
"The KPK once had experience carrying out OTT which ranged from only hundreds of millions but in the end, the replacement money was worth hundreds of billions of rupiah. This must be done by the KPK in handling this case," continued Lakso.
