JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined B. Rudijanto Tanoesoedibjo as President Commissioner of PT Dosni Roha Logistik today, Thursday, August 14. The sister of a media entrepreneur, Harry Tanoesoedibjo, was investigated by investigators regarding allegations of corruption in the transportation of social assistance (bansos) at the Ministry of Social Affairs.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Red and White building," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Thursday, August 14.

Budi has not yet detailed the examination material that will be investigated by Rudi Tanoesoedibjo. He only said that this businessman would be questioned as a witness.

"The KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses suspected of corruption related to the transportation of social assistance at the Ministry of Social Affairs," he said.

The KPK is again investigating allegations of corruption at the Ministry of Social Affairs (Kemensos). An investigation warrant (sprindik) has been issued and the case relates to the strengthening of social assistance (bansos).

The investigation has been carried out since August. The alleged corruption that is currently being handled is the development of the alleged corruption that has been handled previously and there is one suspect.

The KPK is also investigating allegations of corruption in the procurement of presidential social assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic which was distributed in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) in 2020. There are already suspects named, namely Ivo Wongkaren as President Director of Mitra Energi Persada.

The suspect's actions in this case, called the anti-corruption commission, caused the state to lose up to Rp250 billion due to a reduction in quality. This number can still increase because the calculation is still being carried out.

The procurement that was corrupted was said to have reached 6 million packages of anti-corruption commission. This figure is divided into three stages, namely, stages three, five, and six, the other reaching two million packages.

The corrupted social assistance was distributed by the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) in a goodiebag with the Presidential Palace logo. In it there are rice, biscuits, cooking oil to other basic necessities.
