TULUNGAGUNG - A number of residents in Tulungagung Regency, East Java, positively appreciated the KPK's move to continue the case and named a new suspect in the bribery case of ratifying the APBD/APBD-P of Tulungagung Regency for the 2016-2018 fiscal year.

"This case has been going on for three years. Of course we hope that all the actors involved in this collusion can be revealed soon, without exception," said Deni, a social activist who is also intensely observing the dynamics of local politics in Tulungagung, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, June 28.

Deni's reaction was also shown by a number of residents, who had long admitted to waiting for the development of the corruption case that had dragged the incumbent elected in the 2018 Tulungagung election, Syahri Mulyo and the chairman of the Tulungagung DPRD Supriyono.

"The information is that a number of service officials (at that time) as well as council members from across factions and commissions were involved. If so, law enforcement should be upright with justice in the eyes of the law," said Nur Cahyono, a young figure in the Jepun Village area, Tulungagung.

Moreover, the KPK has now named four new suspects in the case.

Although the KPK has not announced who has been promoted from witness to suspect status, residents are enthusiastic about the progress.

Tulungagung Regent Maryoto Birowo, who is said to have the potential to be dragged into the bribery toll on the approval of the 2022 APBD/APBD-P, said he respected the ongoing legal process.

"We'll just follow (the flow)," said Tulungagung Regent Maryoto Birowo in response to reporters' questions.

Previously, the Acting Spokesperson for the KPK's Enforcement Sector, Ali Fikri, said the KPK was currently carrying out an investigation in the form of collecting evidence related to the alleged bribery of Banprov.

"In this investigation, the KPK has named several parties as suspects," Ali told reporters.

However, the KPK can only announce the identities of those who have been designated as suspects when an attempt is made to forcefully arrest or detain them.

"The summoning of various parties as witnesses is one of the efforts to collect evidence carried out by the investigative team and is currently underway. The Corruption Eradication Commission hopes for the support of the public who, if they have various information related to this case, can immediately convey the information to the KPK investigator team so that we will immediately investigate the said information. , said Ali.
