KPK Responds to Potential Questioning of Former Bank Indonesia Governor in Corruption Probe

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has addressed inquiries regarding the potential questioning of former Bank Indonesia Governor Perry Warjiyo in connection with an alleged corruption case involving the central bank's social program. Warjiyo recently concluded his tenure as governor.

The summoning of witnesses is certainly based on the needs of the investigators. Not simply because someone retired from their position and then summoned for questioning.

KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo clarified the commission's procedures, stating, "The summoning of witnesses is certainly based on the needs of the investigators. Not simply because someone retired from their position and then summoned for questioning." He emphasized that individuals are called as witnesses to provide information that aids investigators in uncovering the facts of a case.

Prasetyo urged the public to follow the investigation's progress, assuring that the KPK is committed to revealing the truth and holding involved parties accountable. He stressed the importance of fully understanding the root causes of the case to inform future governance improvements.

The KPK will certainly reveal the truth of this case, including the actions of the parties involved.

Tempo has attempted to reach Perry Warjiyo for comment via WhatsApp but had not received a response at the time of publication. The KPK has previously named two former members of the House of Representatives, Heri Gunawan and Satori, as suspects in this case. They are accused of misusing funds from the Bank Indonesia social program for personal benefit and manipulating program implementation. The suspects face charges under anti-corruption and money laundering laws.

It is important for the root of the problem in the case to be fully revealed and serve as the basis for improving governance in the future.
