JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is expected to question former Minister of Forestry Malem Sambat Kaban aka MS Kaban, now Chairman of the Crescent Star Party (PBB), today (Feb 27) related to the graft case of the 2007 procurement of an integrated radio communications system (SKRT).
KPK’s Head of News Coverage & Information Priharsa Nugraha confirmed that Kaban will be quizzed by KPK today, as witness for Anggoro Widjojo, the main suspect in the case. KPK will also question Kaban’s driver, Muhammad Yusuf.
Kaban had been questioned as witness by KPK back in 2012. At that time, the Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) urged KPK to name Kaban as suspect.
Two weeks ago, KPK had asked Immigration Office to ban both Kaban and Muhammad Yusuf for travelling overseas following the arrest of Anggoro Widjojo in Shenzhen, China, last month.(haryantos@yosefardi.biz)
