JAKARTA - Former Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Abraham Samad and a civil society coalition visited the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, Friday, January 31.

They reported that the owner of Agung Sedayu Group, Sugianto Kusuma alias Aguan, was related to the installation of a 30.16 kilometer (km) long sea fence.

"It is strongly suspected (assuming, ed) by Agung Sedayu Group and its subsidiaries. Therefore, we ask the KPK not to worry about calling people who feel they are strong all this time, namely Aguan," Samad told reporters at the location.

Samad and other coalition members believe that there is an agreement related to the issuance of certificates of property rights (SHM) and building rights (HGB) which are pocketed by companies allegedly related to Aguan. Thus, investigations into alleged corruption need to be carried out.

"Because this name seems to be created a myth that he is not touched by the law. Therefore, we want to encourage the KPK so that this person is immediately examined," he said.

In addition to reporting Aguan, this coalition hopes that the investigation carried out by the KPK can open up corrupt practices allegedly carried out by the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during his tenure in the last 10 years. "Well, PIK 2 is the tip of the iceberg for the occurrence of state assets that are handed over to the private sector through power that exceeds the authority," said the civilian community figure who was also present, Said Didu.

"That's what happened and earlier I asked the KPK to see how many roads, how many rivers, how many beaches, how many irrigations have been taken over by PIK 2. Are there compensations to the state or just disappear," he continued.

As for the submission of this report, a number of evidences have been submitted. This community coalition met directly with the leaders of the anti-corruption commission for the period 2024-2029, one of which was KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto.

Meanwhile, the KPK Spokesperson Team Budi Prasetyo confirmed the hearing between the anti-corruption commission leadership and the civil society coalition. This institution appreciates the meeting as a form of public involvement in eradicating corruption.

"Moreover, every effort to eradicate corruption carried out by the KPK, either through an approach to education, prevention, or prosecution, requires community participation and support," concluded Budi.
