JAKARTA - Former West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil has fulfilled the summons of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in investigating cases of alleged corruption in advertising procurement projects at the West Java and Banten Regional Development Banks or Bank BJB for the period 2021-2023.

"Yes, basically, today I give a sense of highest respect for the rule of law, that's why I came in the context of transparency and also gave an accountability obligation as a former public official," said Ridwan Kamil when he arrived at the KPK's Red and White Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, December 2.

Based on reports from reporters in the field, Ridwan Kamil arrived at 10.40 WIB and was accompanied by a number of lawyers.

Furthermore, Ridwan Kamil admitted that he was happy to be summoned by the KPK because he could provide clarification.

"Without clarification, the perception is wild. I think so and can be detrimental," he said.

Therefore, he hopes that the clarification given to the KPK can provide information for the needs of investigating the Bank BJB case.

"I am ready, and support the KPK in providing the widest possible information regarding what is the case in BJB," he said.

In the case of alleged corruption of Bank BJB, KPK investigators named five suspects on March 13, 2025, namely Bank BJB President Director Yuddy Renaldi (YR) and Commitment Making Officer (PPK) as well as Head of the Corporate Secretary Division of Bank BJB Widi Hartoto (WH).
