The Director General of Railways of the Ministry of Transportation, Risal Wasal, said that currently the joint investigative team appointed had investigated further to find the cause of the drop in the train.

Risal said, a thorough evaluation will also be carried out to ensure that the project runs according to the target set.

He said that in the near future the Ministry of Transportation would also announce the results of the investigation.

"When it comes to safety, we have asked for a speedy investigation. Because the construction must continue. It is impossible to continue to stop. In the near future the results can be announced by the Minister of Transportation," he told reporters at Gambir Station, Thursday, December 22.

Regarding whether or not there are sanctions that will be given to related parties, Risal said that he would decide after the results of the investigation come out.

"Just wait for the results of the KNKT investigation. The problem is you don't dare to precede. So you also know where the human error is," he said.

Met separately, Corporate Deputy Director of Passenger Marketing of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) or KAI, Raden Agus Dwinanto said that his party prioritized knowing the results of the investigation into the cause of the accident.

After the investigation is complete, Agus said, KAI will follow up on recommendations issued from the National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC).

"Because the team is combined, the investigative time may be different and adjusted to their internals," he said.
