JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is concentrating on deepening budget discussions in DKI Jakarta to investigate allegations of corruption in land acquisition in Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta in 2019. This investigation was carried out by examining a number of witnesses including Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD M Taufik.

The examination of Taufik was carried out on Tuesday, August 10 last. At that time, a number of things were corrected by investigators, including the process of discussing the land acquisition budget, which led to an overabundance of the suspects in this case.

"The investigative team studied the witness' knowledge, among others, related to the proposal and discussion of the budget for BUMD in the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, one of which (related, red) is land acquisition in Munjul," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, August 11. .

In addition, Taufik, who was presented as a witness for the suspect, former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya Yoory Corneles Pinontoan, was also confirmed regarding the process of buying and selling the land and his relationship with one of the suspects, Rudy Hartono Iskandar.

Not only Taufik, investigators have also examined another witness, namely the Acting Regional Secretary (Sekda) DKI Jakarta Sri Haryati on Thursday, August 5. During the examination, investigators obtained information related to the process of submitting the Regional Capital Participation (PMD) budget from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government to Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya.

In addition, the KPK is also studying the technical disbursement of the PMD budget by examining the Head of the Transportation, Property and Finance Business Division of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government BUMD, Ahmad Ghifari.

Although the KPK has investigated the budget discussion, Deputy Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD M Taufik denied that he knew about the land acquisition in Munjul. According to him, this technical activity for land acquisition is under the authority of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a Regional Owned Enterprise (BUMD).

"Technically (budget, ed) spent, it's the responsibility of each BUMD," he said after being questioned by the KPK on Tuesday, August 10.

Taufik said that his party through the DKI DPRD Budget Agency (Banggar) only accepted and proposed requests for Perumda Sarana Jaya regional capital participation (PMD). Thus, he does not suspect that in the end the procurement budget will be corrupted.

"No, it's not (suspicious, red) because it is according to the proposal. If Banggar is according to the proposal. Kan PMD is like this, before being proposed to the DPRD, the assessment team has finalized," he said.

Even so, he agrees that there is a budget of IDR 1.8 trillion requested by Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya. However, he did not know if the money was used for land acquisition in Munjul.

"Yes, there is, the budget is there (Rp 1.8 trillion, ed). Kan Banggar determines the budget chunks, the implementation is left to each BUMD," said Taufik.

In this case, the KPK has named four suspects in this case, namely the Director and Deputy Director of PT Adonara Propertindo, namely 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 allegation of corruption occurred when Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, which is a BUMD in the property sector, sought 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.

As a result of this abusive practice, the state lost up to Rp. 152.5 billion. The money was allegedly used to meet the personal needs of the suspects.
