JAKARTA - Chairman of the Democratic Party's Election Winning Body (Bappilu), Andi Arief said he had received a summons as a witness from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today, Tuesday, April 5.

He confirmed that he would be present for questioning regarding the alleged bribery that ensnared the North Penajam Paser Regent Abdul Gafur Mas'ud and the Balikpapan Democratic Party DPC Treasurer, Nur Afifah Balqis.

"Today I received two summons as witnesses in the PPU Regent's case. I will attend because I obey the law," Andi said as quoted from his Twitter @Andiarief__.

Andi then asked for an end to the controversy over the summons that was previously busy being discussed. The reason, the first letter was not received by him because of the wrong address.

"The first call was explained by the Express Post officer, the address was wrong. The second call was also today via DPP," he wrote.

"Polemic letter, finished," added Andi.

As previously reported, Andi Arief had accused the Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, of misrepresenting his summons as a witness in the alleged bribery case that ensnared Abdul Gafur Mas'ud. The Democrat Party politician also admitted that he had not received a summons from the anti-corruption commission.

In response to this, the KPK then confirmed that Andi's summons was not a hoax. Furthermore, the investigator also made a re-call.

The second summons was sent to Andi's residence in the Cipulir area, South Jakarta.

The KPK hopes that Andi Arief will come to fulfill the summons as a witness. Moreover, the statement from the Democrat Party politician is needed to investigate the alleged bribery that ensnared Abdul Gafur and Nur Afifah Balqis.

For information, the KPK appointed Abdul Gafur with the Plt Secretary of North Penajam Paser Regency, Mulyadi; Head of Department of Public Works and Spatial Planning of North Penajam Paser Regency Edi Hasmoro; Head of the North Penajam Paser District Education, Youth and Sports Office, Jusman; and the General Treasurer of the Balikpapan Democratic Party DPC, Nur Afifah Balqis as a bribe recipient.

Meanwhile, as a suspect for giving bribes, the KPK has named a private party named Achmad Zudi. These six people have been named as suspects in alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services as well as granting permits in North Penajam Paser Regency.

Their determination was initiated from a hand-catching operation (OTT) which was held on Wednesday, January 12 in two locations, namely Jakarta and North Kalimantan. From the results of the action, the KPK also confiscated Rp1 billion and Rp447 million in Balqis's account.
