Previously, the KPK confirmed the investigation into alleged corruption at the Ministry of Agriculture. This was in response to the circulation of the Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo along with two of his subordinates, KSD and HTA, who were also involved in allegations of corruption.
This action was carried out since early January. Dozens of people have been questioned, such as officials and state civil servants (ASN) at the ministry.
Furthermore, investigators asked Syahrul for information on Friday, June 16. Then he was not present because he was on duty abroad and asked to postpone it until Tuesday, June 27.
However, the KPK continued to summon Syahrul on Monday, June 19 and he fulfilled the call. After being questioned he admitted that he was ready to cooperate with the investigation at the ministry he led.
