JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it will reschedule the summons of Vice Chairman of the House of Representatives Azis Syamsuddin. The rescheduling of the examination was done because Azis was not present in the first call as a witness.

However, Acting Kpk Spokesman Ali Fikri did not elaborate further on the summons. Firli only made sure to inform the public when investigators had scheduled the examination.

"We make sure the investigators will recall Azis Syamsuddin. We will inform you more," Ali told reporters Thursday, May 20.

He asserted, KPK continues to conduct investigations of alleged bribes that ensnared its investigators from the AKP police Stepanus Robin Pattuju. Ali also ensured, KPK will reveal clearly the case and ready to establish other suspects.

"We will resolve and disclose as brightly as possible the case and do not hesitate to establish the other party as a suspect as long as there is sufficient evidence," he said.

Previously reported, Azis Syamsuddin had been called by KPK investigators to be asked for information related to the case that ensnared Stepanus Robin Pattuju. In this case, Stepanus became a suspect after taking bribes from the Mayor of Tanjungbalai M Syahrial to stop the case being investigated.

Although he was not present at the investigation, golkar party politicians were present when called the KPK Supervisory Board on Monday, May 17. Azis was summoned in connection with an alleged violation of Stepanus' code of conduct.

In this case, Azis' involvement was quite clearly conveyed by kpk. He is said to have introduced Stepanus and M Syahrial at his office.

The introduction of Azis with Robin called KPK originated from an aide who both came from the Bhayangkara Corps. From the introduction, Stepanus and M Syahrial then made an agreement to stop the case being investigated by kpk and led to the giving of money amounting to Rp1.3 billion.

Kpk has also conducted searches in a number of places related to this alleged bribe. This includes searching the office house and Azis office in the House of Representatives.
