JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that it will investigate all bribes received by the inactive Bekasi Mayor Rahmat Effendi or Pepen. Including the money allegedly flowing to the Golkar Party.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said that all available information leading to the allegation would be investigated by investigators.

"We will first investigate the available information, including what was conveyed earlier (the alleged flow of funds to Golkar, ed)," Ali told reporters quoted on Tuesday, March 29.

Ali also ensured the entire flow of funds in this case. Anyone who is proven to have received money from Pepen will certainly be snared.

"In principle, once again at the beginning, we said yes, we will continue to investigate the use of the cash receipts flow, including the information on the use of the money intended for the purchase of assets," he said.

Previously reported, Rahmat Effendi or Pepen along with eight other people were named by the KPK as suspects for alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services as well as the auction of positions in the Bekasi City Government.

Pepen together with the Secretary of the Investment Office and PTSP, M Bunyamin; Head of Jatisari Village, Mulyadi; Jatisampurna Sub-district Head, Wahyudin; and the Head of the Bekasi City Housing, Settlement and Land Office, Jumhana Lutfi, were named as recipients of bribes.

Meanwhile, the four suspected givers are the Director of PT MAM Energindo, Ali Amril; private party, Lai Bui Min; Director of Kota Bintang Rayatri, Suryadi; and the sub-district head of Rawalumbu, Makhfud Saifudin.
