The Indramayu District Attorney's Office is pursuing a case of alleged corruption involving routine spending at the regional water company, Perumdam Tirta Darma Ayu (TDA). The investigation centers on a sum of Rp 39 billion for the 2025 fiscal year. Director Utama Nurpan was questioned for seven hours as a witness, alongside two other company executives, including the Production Manager and a former General Manager. This marathon examination suggests the probe into alleged markups on essential supplies like water meters, pipes, and chemicals could lead to further implications for key figures within the Indramayu Regency-owned enterprise. Nurpan stated he was questioned about his duties and past activities, clarifying that he only took over as director in late October 2025 and made no significant policy decisions that year, focusing instead on motivating staff for better public service. The case stems from a public complaint regarding the alleged overpricing of these routine procurement items.
