JAKARTA - The head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri confirmed that the case against the Deputy Speaker of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Azis Syamsuddin, in Central Lampung will continue to be investigated even though he has been named a suspect in the alleged bribery handling of corruption cases.

"KPK will never stop related to investigation and investigation efforts," said Firli, quoted from the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Monday, September 27.

However, he said the anti-corruption commission would focus more on the bribery case committed by Azis against his former investigator, Stepanus Robin Pattuju.

Thus, Firli asked the public to be patient and give the KPK time. He also ensured that he would not indiscriminately treat the parties involved in this case.

"In principle, the KPK must resolve every corruption case," he said.

As previously reported, Azis Syamsuddin was named a suspect in connection with the alleged bribery in handling corruption cases that are being handled by the KPK in Central Lampung.

After being detained, the inactive deputy chairman of the Golkar Party was detained for the first 20 days until October 13 at the South Jakarta Police Rutan.

The KPK suspects that Azis and former General Chairperson of the PP Youth Forces of the Golkar Party (AMPG) Aliza Gunado gave bribes to KPK investigator Stepanus Robin Pattuju (SRP) worth Rp 3.1 billion from the Rp 4 billion agreement. This provision was made so that the former investigators would secure their position in the alleged corruption of the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) in Central Lampung.
