JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has confirmed that President-elect Joko “Jokowi” has no suspicious overseas bank accounts as alleged in the incoming reports.
KPK Deputy Chief Adnan Pandupraja told reporters on Tuesday (Oct. 14) that the investigation conducted by KPK, along with the Anti-Money Laundering Agency (PPATK), found no overseas bank accounts on behalf of Jokowi, the outgoing Jakarta Governor.
Adnan said KPK needs to make the clarification on the allegations as DPR plans to summon KPK and the Attorney General (AG) related to graft allegations committed by Jokowi.
Adnan earlier also confirmed that KPK’s investigation found out that Jokowi is clean over graft allegations accused to him related to the disbursement of the fund of the education aid for Surakartans (BPMKS) program during his tenure as Surakarta Mayor in 2010.
As reported earlier, Deputy House Speaker Fadli Zon said the DPR will summon the KPK and the AG related to the report submitted to the DPR regarding graft allegations committed by Jokowi. Fadli Zon is also politician from Gerindra Party, a party led by Jokowi’s contender in 2014 presidential race Prabowo Subianto. The report was submitted to the DPR by Rachmawati Soekarnoputri, one of Prabowo’s key supporters. (haryantos@yosefardi.biz)
