"The examination was carried out at the KPK's Merah Putih building," KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo told reporters in a written statement, Tuesday, July 21.

Those who were asked for information were Rio Tirta as Head of the South Sumatra Provincial BPK Representative; Cendy Avrian as Head of the BPK Inspection of the South Sumatra Representative; Wenny Lia as Head of the BPK Inspection of the South Sumatra Representative; Benny Murdani and Sayudi who are ASN BPK Prov.

Four people have met the call of investigators since this morning, namely Rio Tirta, Cendy, Wenny, and Benny. Meanwhile, Sayudi has not been present in the examination room until now.

As previously reported, the KPK has named five people as suspects in the alleged bribery case related to the audit of the 2025 Fiscal Year Government of Muara Enim Regency (Pemkab) financial statements. They are the Head of the BPK Inspection Team for South Sumatra Representative Titin Rita Lestari (TTN), private party Augus Dwianggara (AGG), Muara Enim Regent Edison (EDS), Director of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Fika (FK), and Marketing PT Millenium Solusi Abadi Cory Erin Hardi (CRH).

In the construction of the case revealed by the KPK, the alleged request for a fee of around IDR 1.6 billion was said to have emerged to change the findings of the BPK audit on the financial statements of the Muara Enim Regency Government.

This matter began when the examination of the financial statements of the Muara Enim Regency Government for the 2025 Fiscal Year was carried out by the South Sumatra BPK Representative. From the audit process, it was found that the results of the examination exceeded the materiality limit and were then included in the Audit Report (LHP).

Furthermore, the management of the audit results was allegedly carried out through a private party named Augus Dwianggara alias Angga. In the process, coordination with Titin Rita Lestari as the Technical Controller of the BPK audit was also allegedly carried out to follow up on changes to the audit results.

To meet the fee requirements, funds from the private sector that worked on the procurement project of smart boards in the Muara Enim Education and Culture Office were allegedly involved. Of the collected money, some were said to have been distributed to a number of parties through two distribution clusters in Jakarta and South Sumatra.
