JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to recall the Minister of Transportation (Menhub) Budi Karya Sumadi. This summons was because he was not present as a witness in the bribery case for the railway project today, Friday, July 14.
"The Minister of Transportation is right, yes, so he sent a letter. There was confirmation to the KPK investigating team that he could not attend because there were other activities. Of course, we from the KPK will reschedule the summons to the person concerned," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Friday, July 14.
Ali has not specified the exact time of the summons. He only confirmed that Budi Karya's statement was needed to make clear the cases being investigated.
The KPK is also still closing the examination material meeting that investigators will ask. "Of course wait because when you are not present, of course we can't say what will be the material for questions or deepening by the KPK investigating team," he said.
Previously, the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation Adita Irawati stated that Budi could not fulfill the KPK's summons. The reason is that he is currently reviewing the projects being built.
Apart from Budi, investigators also summoned the Director General of Railways DJKA of the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation M Risal Wasal and ASN at the Ministry of Transportation Maulana Yusuf as witnesses.
The statements of the three are needed to complete the investigation files of the suspect, the Head of the Class I Railway Engineering Center for the Central Java region (BTP Jabagteng) Putu Sumarjaya and his friends (dkk).
