JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) opened the opportunity to examine the members of the DPR PDI Perjuangan (PDIP) Faction Rieke Diah Pitaloka regarding the bribery case of the ijon project that ensnared the non-active Regent of Bekasi Ade Kuswara.
This was conveyed by KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo when asked about Rieke's role as the Bekasi Regent Advisory Council. According to him, as long as investigators need the testimony of the PDIP politician, the summons will be carried out.
"Of course, it is possible to summon any party to provide information who is considered necessary by the investigators to complete the evidence or information needed in the investigation of this case," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, January 6.
Even so, Budi emphasized that investigators would investigate Rieke's role.
"We express our gratitude for the information, which will later be investigated by investigators, such as what the roles of those concerned are," he said.
"If it is indeed necessary to conduct a request for information, the investigators are open to summoning anyone to complete the information and evidence needed in the investigation process for this case so that the case in Bekasi becomes clear," continued Budi.
As previously reported, the KPK named Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara together with his father, H. M Kumang who also served as the Head of Sukadami Village, South Cikarang District; and a private named Sarjan as suspects in the alleged bribery case for the ijon project.
