JAKARTA - State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) Minister Erick Thohir visited the Red and White House of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Wednesday, July 8. He came and went out through the back door of the KPK building.

To journalists, Erick admitted that he came to the KPK to discuss the National Economic Recovery (PEN). The discussion was conducted with the KPK leadership.

However, he refused to elaborate on the discussion material with the KPK regarding PEN. He chose to avoid questions from the media crew and left the KPK building.

"Discussion on PEN (National Economic Recovery)," said Erick Thohir briefly as he climbed into a black Alphard car with a license plate RI number 45 and took him away from the KPK building, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 8.

It is known, some time ago Erick Thohir once revealed that there were dozens of allegations of corruption in BUMN that were detrimental to the state. "Right now, I have found 53 corruption cases," said Erick in a webinar, Thursday, July 2.

This former entrepreneur said that the Ministry of BUMN had conducted a mapping of companies engaged in public service, business, or a mixture of the two.

Responding to this, KPK Deputy Chairman Nawawi Pomolango then asked Erick to report allegations of corruption involving BUMN officials.

"Pak Erick should not be fussy. He knows the address of the KPK office, he has even recorded two visits to the KPK office," said Nawawi.

Meanwhile, PEN is a program carried out by the government to reduce the impact of COVID-19 in the economic sector and is regulated in Government Regulation (PP) 23/2020.
