Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution Receives KPK Award For Asset Rescue Achievement

MEDAN - Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution received an award from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) for the achievement of the largest immovable asset rescue value during 2021.

"Hopefully this award we receive will motivate us to work even better in the future," said Bobby Nasution in Medan, North Sumatra, quoted by Antara, Thursday, February 24.

Bobby Nasution explained that the Medan City Government won an award from the KPK following the success of obtaining the largest immovable asset, namely the delivery of utility facilities for 11 developers worth more than Rp. 142.01 billion.

In addition to the Medan City Government, he continued, a number of district/city governments in North Sumatra, including the North Sumatra Provincial Government, also received awards in different categories from the anti-corruption agency.

Bobby Nasution said that the awards received by each district/city government in North Sumatra need to be shared with each other, especially the methods used to get the KPK award.

Previously, KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata accompanied by North Sumatra Governor Edy Rahmayadi presented an award to Medan Mayor Bobby Nasution at a coordination meeting on corruption eradication in Medan, Wednesday, February 23.

"How can each of us get this award, maybe there is a trick or method. We will share this in the future," said Bobby.

However, Bobby Nasution admitted, there are still many assets belonging to the Medan City Government that have not been certified, therefore his party immediately accelerated the certification process.

"Because this is one way to secure assets owned by the Medan City Government," he said.
