JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will summon DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan as a witness in the alleged corruption case in the procurement of Munjul Land, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. This summons will be carried out as early as this week.

"Give the KPK time to work, in due course the KPK will convey it to the public as soon as possible this week or next week," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to reporters, Monday, July 26.

It's just that he didn't specify exactly when Anies would be called. Firli only said that the statement from the former Minister of Education and Culture was needed to investigate the case that ensnared the former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles.

"Everything really depends on the ongoing process, but the KPK continues to do its best," he said.

Furthermore, Firli asked the public to be patient because the KPK needed time to analyze the findings of evidence and witness statements in this corruption case.

"KPK understands the wishes and expectations of the community so that corruption cases are resolved to the roots, including corruption cases within the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government," he said.

Previously, the KPK named four suspects in this case, namely Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo, Tommy Adrian, and Anja Runtuwene, former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles, and Director of PT Aldira Berkah Abadi Makmur (ABAM) Rudy Hartono Iskandar.

In addition, the KPK has also named PT Adonara Propertindo as a suspect in corporate corruption.

This case began when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, was looking for land in the Jakarta area to be used as a business unit or land bank. Furthermore, this regionally owned company cooperates with PT Adonara Propertindo which is also engaged in the same field.

From this cooperation, it was agreed to sign the Binding of the Sale and Purchase Agreement Deed before a notary which took place at the Perumda Sarana Jaya office on April 8, 2019. This signature was carried out between the buyers, namely Yoory and Anja Runtuwene.

At the same time, a payment of 50 percent or around Rp. 108.9 billion was made to Anja's bank account at Bank DKI. Next, on Yoory's orders, the payment was made in the amount of IDR 43.5 billion.

However, in the land acquisition process, Perumda Sarana Jaya is suspected of committing fraudulent actions such as not conducting a study on the feasibility of the land object and not conducting an appraisal study without being supported by the completeness of the requirements according to the relevant regulations.

In addition, this BUMD company is also strongly suspected of carrying out the process and stages of land acquisition not according to procedures and there are documents that are prepared in a backdate, as well as an initial price agreement between Anja and Perumda Sarana Jaya before the negotiation process is carried out.
