The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled the examination of five witnesses for alleged extortion in the management of work safety and health certification (K3) at the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) today. One of them is the Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower Cris Kuntadi.

Meanwhile, Cris became Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower after being inaugurated by Minister of Manpower Yassierli on May 16. He replaced the acting (Plt) Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower Aris Wahyudi.

"The investigation was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo to reporters in a written statement, Monday, December 8.

Apart from Cris, the KPK also summoned Syifa Afia Rizfahphi as a private employee; Fanny Fania Oktapiani as PT Takenaka Indonesia; Francisca Taolin as the APLGI Secretariat; and Nicken Ayu Wulandari staff of PT Astra Honda Motor.

Budi has not detailed the material examined by investigators. However, their testimony as witnesses is needed.

"KPK has scheduled an examination of witnesses in alleged corruption related to extortion in the management of K3 certification," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK named 11 suspects in connection with the alleged extortion of handling work safety and health certificates (K3). This determination began with a hand arrest operation (OTT) which arrested 14 people, including the Deputy Minister of Manpower (Wamenaker) Immanuel Ebenezer.

The following is a list of suspects named by the KPK:

1. Irvian Bobby Mahendro as Coordinator for Institutional and Personnel Affairs K3 of 2022-2025; 2. Gerry Aditya Herwanto Putra as Coordinator for Testing and Evaluation of Work Safety Competency until now; 3. Subhan as Sub-Coordinator of Work Safety Dit. K3 Development in 2020-2025;4. Anitasari Kusumawati as Coordinator of Partnerships and Work Health Personnel in 2020 until now; 5. Immanuel Ebenezer Gerungan as Deputy Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia in 2024-2029;6. Fahrurozi as Director General of Binwasnaker and K3 in March 2025 until now; 7. Hery Sutanto as Director of Institutional Development in 2021-February 2025; 8. Sekarsari Kartika Putri as sub-coordinator; 9. Supriadi as coordinator; 10. Temurila as PT KEM Indonesia; and 11. Miki Mahfud as PT KEM Indonesia's party.

In this case, Immanuel Ebenezer is said to have received IDR 3 billion in December 2024 and was used to renovate his house. In addition, he also got one Ducati motorbike.

This gift is said to have come from Irvian, who was called Immanuel as the sultan because he was considered the richest person in the Ministry of Manpower.

In addition, Immanuel Ebenezer, also called the KPK, has acknowledged that there have been receipts during his tenure apart from the extortion of K3 certification from the Ministry of Manpower. This finding was conveyed by the KPK after finding three other cars, namely Mercedes Benz, Land Cruiser, and BAIC which had been hidden from their official residence after OTT.
