JAKARTA - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto said his party had coordinated with the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) regarding the investigation of alleged corruption in the Free Nutritious Meal program by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN).
This statement was made in response to news that the KPK had actually investigated the alleged corruption since the beginning of the year. However, the process is now delayed because the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has previously named three suspects, one of whom is the former Head of BGN Dadan Hindayana.
"Previously I have also coordinated with the Head of BPKP, regarding the previous process," Setyo told reporters at the State Administration Agency (LAN) building, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, June 17.
Setyo did not elaborate on the results of the coordination. According to him, now the most important thing is to wait for the results of the work of the Attorney General's Office.
"Yes, now we will see the developments that have been guarded by the Attorney General's Office. The investigation process is already underway, yes. Many things have been done by the Attorney General's Office, yes, we will see later," he said.
"If it really needs to be coordinated, coordinated," continued the former KPK Director of Investigations.
Previously, the acting director of the KPK Investigation Directorate, Taufik Ahmad Husein, confirmed that there was an investigation into the alleged corruption of the Free Nutritious Meal Program by the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) before the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) named a suspect.
"Yes, we have indeed been investigating," Taufik told reporters at the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday evening, June 8.
Meanwhile, regarding the follow-up to this investigation, Taufik did not say much. He only said that because the Attorney General's Office had first named a suspect, the KPK was now just waiting.
"So we will see the synergy for the investigation processes," he said.
The KPK, he continued, will also carry out a trial or expose. This step is also to ensure follow-up on the findings that have been obtained during the investigation.
"We will wait for the title of the case, how the leadership decides," said Taufik.
