JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined the former Secretary General of the MPR RI Ma'ruf Cahyono who is a suspect in alleged gratification related to the procurement of goods and services in the MPR General Secretariat. He was questioned as a witness at the KPK Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today.
"The person concerned has arrived at the KPK Red and White building at around 09.30 WIB," said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to reporters through his written statement, Thursday, June 25.
Budi said Ma'ruf was still undergoing an examination until now. The material that was investigated by investigators has not been detailed.
However, the KPK has previously said that Ma'ruf received gratification worth Rp. 17 billion and is still increasing because the counting and deepening of witness statements continues. The receipt was made in relation to the distribution and printing of documents.
As previously reported, the KPK has named Ma'ruf Cahyono as a suspect in the alleged gratification case related to procurement projects in the environment of the MPR RI. He was charged with Article 12B of the Corruption Crime Law, which regulates the acceptance of gratification by state officials.
Ma'ruf has also been prevented from traveling abroad by the Directorate General of Immigration at the request of the KPK. The ban on traveling abroad is valid for six months from June 10, 2025, to support the smooth running of the investigation process.
The KPK stated that it would continue to explore information and trace the flow of funds in the case, including investigating other parties suspected of being involved in the request for project fees in the MPR RI environment.
