KPK Investigates New Corruption Case on Railway Procurement in South Sumatra

Indonesia's Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is pursuing a new corruption case linked to the construction and maintenance of railway lines by the Directorate General of Railways (DJKA) in South Sumatra. This investigation is an outgrowth of an earlier sting operation, leading the KPK to issue a new investigation order in May 2026.

While the KPK is operating under a general investigation order, no suspects have been officially named yet. Investigators have begun summoning witnesses. Anisah, the President Director of PT Surya Annisa Kencana, has been questioned regarding the railway project's execution in South Sumatra. However, Farah Dina Eka Syamriati, a civil servant from BTP Class II South Sumatra, has not yet appeared for her summons, and the KPK has not received confirmation from her.

This is a development from the initial investigation that began with a sting operation. Where the KPK then issued a new investigation order per May 2026.

On Wednesday, June 3, the KPK also summoned JRO, a civil servant from the Palembang Railway Engineering Center (BTP Class II Palembang), as a witness. Additionally, the KPK has scheduled interviews with JLD, the President Director of PT Wira Cipta Mandiri Consultant. The commission will also question two individuals already convicted in related cases, Harno Trimadi and Zulfikar Fahmi, at the Sukamiskin Class I Penitentiary in Bandung, West Java.

Previously, the KPK uncovered a corruption case involving bribery within DJKA concerning railway line construction in various regions, including South Sulawesi, Central Java, West Java, and the Java-Sumatra corridor, during a 2023 sting operation. That operation led to the arrest of 25 individuals and the seizure of approximately Rp2.027 billion, US$20,000, debit cards valued at Rp346 million, and bank account balances totaling Rp150 million.
