JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will seek the involvement of Members of Commission V of the DPR for the period 2019-2024 in the alleged bribery of the Director General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) for East Java.
KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto said this search was carried out through several stages in the investigation, one of which was to ask for information from witnesses to see the whole construction of the case.
It is known that a number of names of members of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the period 2019-2014 who participated in the bribery of DJKA money were revealed at the trial. Among them is Lasarus as Chairman of Commission V of the Indonesian House of Representatives who is said to enjoy a 10 percent fee.
"We are not only looking at the legal certainty. We are looking at the construction of the case, lah, gitu. What is the result of the examination, and how is the testimony of other witnesses," Setyo told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, February 18.
He ensured that the investigation into the DJKA bribery case would not stop with arresting Sudewo as a suspect. But, this decision will be handed over to the KPK's Enforcement and Execution Department.
"Ini kan masih memang ada beberapa tapi, kan, kita juga mempertimbangkan lain-lain. Artinya mempertimbangkan itu terhadap keterangannya ini nyambung enggak," tegasnya.
As previously reported, the KPK continues to develop the bribery case for the railway line development project of the Director General of Railways (DJKA) of the Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) for East Java. Most recently, Sudewo as a former Member of Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia for the period 2020-2024 was named a suspect.
Sudewo chose to remain silent when asked about the involvement of other legislators of Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia in this bribery case. This moment occurred when he underwent an examination on Thursday, February 12.
The KPK also confirmed that it would investigate other legislators in the commission who also received money. In addition to Lasarus as Chairman of Commission V of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia for the 2019-2024 period, there are dozens of names suspected of being sprayed with DJKA bribes, namely Ridwan Bae, Hamka Baco Kady to Sadarestuwati.
