JAKARTA - Member of the PDIP faction of the DKI DPRD, Gilbert Simanjuntak, admitted that his party supports the KPK's plan to summon the Governor of DKI Jakarta, Anies Baswedan, and Chairman of the DPRD, Prasetio Edi Marsudi. Both of them will be questioned regarding the corruption case in the land acquisition program for the Rp0 DP house program.

The summons of Anies and Prasetio to investigate the corruption case of land acquisition in Munjul, East Jakarta, which was carried out by the former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory C. Pinontoan is in the hands of the KPK.

"That's the authority and duty of the KPK. According to the results of the KPK, so that it doesn't become an issue but there is a follow-up," Gilbert told VOI, Tuesday, July 13.

Gilbert admitted that he did not know who the parties were related to this case and needed to be examined by the KPK. Therefore, he hopes that the KPK can resolve the case.

"We hope that this case is finished and does not become a wild ball. Therefore, it needs to be made clear," he said.

Previously, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) confirmed that it would send a summons to the DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan and the Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi.

Both of them were summoned to be investigated for the alleged corruption case of land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. Anies and Prasetyo's investigation is needed to clarify the alleged corruption that caused the state to lose up to Rp12.5 billion.

"Regarding the land acquisition program, of course, in the preparation of the DKI APBD budget program, the DKI Governor is very understanding as well as the DKI DPRD which has the task of authority to set the RAPBD into a APBD together with the DKI Regional Government," said KPK Chair Firli Bahuri.

"So of course it is necessary to ask for information so that it becomes clear," he added.

Firli said that the KPK wants this case to be fully disclosed for the sake of legal certainty and to create a sense of justice and benefit for the community.

Therefore Firli ensured that his subordinates would work hard to investigate the alleged corruption and ensnare anyone involved, including from the legislative and executive elements.

"We will reveal all parties suspected of being involved, both from the legislative and executive circles. The budget for land acquisition is a huge loss to the state. So whoever the perpetrators are involved with sufficient evidence, we will not indiscriminately because that is the working principle of the KPK," said the former Deputy for Enforcement that.
