KPKから禁止され、Plh Walkot Bandung Eva Sumarna が法的手続きを尊重

The Daily Executive of the Mayor of Bandung, Ema Sumarna, said that his inspection abroad by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was related to the interests of investigating the alleged corruption case of the Smart City project which is currently underway.

"Yes, in principle, I respect the process that there is prevention, maybe my capacity with the position attached as a regional secretary and now as a daily executor, maybe my information is still needed," said Emadi, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, May 19.

Ema said he also still had to solve problems in the city of Bandung, such as garbage which continues to be in the spotlight after the accumulation of garbage in various temporary shelters (TPS) so that it is impossible to travel abroad.

"Now we continue to focus on various programs in the city of Bandung, one of which is handling waste and also decreasing air cables. Therefore, there is no agenda abroad and out of town. In the current condition, I will remain in Bandung," he said.

For the corruption case that dragged a number of Bandung City officials, including the inactive Bandung Mayor Yana Mulyana, he also asked for prayers at the Bandung City DPRD Plenary Meeting which took place on Friday, May 19, evening.

"In this very honorable plenary forum, with all humility, we ask the ladies and gentlemen who are present in this room to be asked for their sincerity. Some time ago in the city of Bandung there was an event that we did not expect, for that we ask for the sincerity of ladies and gentlemen to always pray to our leaders in the executive who are currently undergoing trials of events that have occurred," said Ema.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is currently investigating a case of alleged corruption in the "Bandung Smart City" project for the 2022-2023 budget year which is worth IDR 2.5 billion.

In this case, the Mayor of Bandung Yana Mulyana together with the Head of the Bandung City Transportation Service Dadang Darmawan, the Secretary of the Bandung City Transportation Service Khairul Rijal, Director of PT Sarana Mitra Adiguna (SMA) Benny, Manager of PT SMA Andreas Guntoro, and CEO of PT Citra Jelajah Informatika (CIFO) Sony Setiadi have been named suspects.

Several city government officials and the Bandung City DPRD, including Ema Sumarna, and also the chairman of the Bandung City DPRD, Tedy Rusmawan, were also questioned by the KPK.

Most recently, the KPK has dismissed Ema Sumarna to travel abroad. The KPK has submitted the deviation to the Directorate General of Immigration of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights since early May 2023 and is valid for six months.

On this same day, the KPK examined the Daily Executive of the Head of the Bandung City Transportation Agency Ricky Gustiadi at the KPK's Red and White Building, Jalan Kuningan Persada, Kav 4 South Jakarta, to complete the case files.
