JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan fulfills the summons of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as a witness related to the alleged corruption in the land acquisition of Munjul, Pondok Ranggon, East Jakarta.

The chairman of the NasDem Faction of the DKI DPRD, Wibi Andrino, said that Anies' arrival at the KPK proved that the former Minister of Education and Culture was a law abiding person.

"We must prioritize the principle of presumption of innocence. But what is certain is that Pak Anies' presence at the KPK is proof that he obeys the law and respects law enforcement," Wibi told reporters, Tuesday, September 21.

Wibi, namely the KPK, has been professional in handling corruption cases carried out by the former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory C. Pinontoan.

"I'm sure the KPK will be professional. Of course, the KPK cannot work based on orders or orders from any party," said Wibi.

From the information given by Anies and Chairman of the DKI DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi today, the member of Commission A of the DKI DPRD hopes that the KPK can thoroughly explore corruption cases in Jakarta.

"Of course the KPK has a duty to dismantle anyone who is playing, or is involved. Moreover, in this KPK there is no SP3 term. So I hope this can be thoroughly investigated," said Wibi.

Previously reported, KPK investigators scheduled an examination of Anies and Chairman of the DKI Jakarta DPRD Prasetyo Edi Marsudi. The two who were present at this examination became witnesses for Yoory Corneles, the former Director of Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, who became a suspect.

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.
