JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan fulfills the summons of investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He was examined as a witness for the suspect, former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles.

Anies arrived at the Kuningan Persada KPK Red and White Building, South Jakarta at around 10:05 WIB. He seemed to be wearing a brown governor's uniform.

Before entering the building's lobby, Anies said he came to ensure good governance.

"This morning I accepted the invitation to give information as a citizen who wants to participate in ensuring good governance, so I came to fulfill the call," Anies told reporters, Tuesday, September 21.

He hopes that the information he provides can help investigators resolve allegations of corruption in the land acquisition of Munjul by his former subordinates.

"So I will convey everything that is needed, hopefully it will be useful for the KPK," said Anies.

In addition to Anies, the chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, has also fulfilled the investigator's summons. Previously, Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri said Anies and Edi would be called as witnesses to complete the case file for suspect Yoory Corneles (YRC), who is the former President Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya. He explained that this summons was based on the need for investigation.

"The investigative team has scheduled the summons of witnesses for the suspect YRC et al, including Anies Baswedan, the Governor of DKI Jakarta and Prasetyo Edi Marsudi, the chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD," said Ali to reporters, Monday, September 20.

With this request for information, it is hoped that the actions carried out by the suspect in this case will become clear and clear. Apart from Anies and Edi, the KPK also plans to summon a number of other witnesses.

"KPK hopes that the witnesses who have been properly summoned by the investigative team will be able to attend according to the time stated in the summons," he said.

In this case, the KPK has named four suspects, 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 alleged corruption, the state is estimated to have lost up to Rp. 152.5 billion. The suspects allegedly used this money to finance their personal needs.
