The reason why the KPK is moving quickly to do OTT in the case of the North Sumatra Road project

Jakarta -The KPK performed a catch operation (OTT) in the Mandailing Natal Region, Northern Sumatra (Northern Sumatra). The KPK revealed the reasons to execute OTT directly related to the corruption case of this road project. The director of the KPK investigation, Asep Guntur Rahayu, explained that his party received information on corruption practices from public reports. When he received the report, he said that his party was facing two choices. First, he said, his party had the choice to wait until the auction process for the road project was completed. Although the auction of this project was determined in the process by the head of the Northern Sumatra Province PUPR (Northern Sumatra), Typhoon Ginting, now mentioned as a suspect, was named.

We will wait for some money, generally 10 to 20%,” Asep said at a press conference in the KPK Red and White building, Kuningan, South Jakarta, Saturday (6/28/2025). Asep said in this choice that the KPK has the potential to raise money from the results of corruption practices estimated at RP 41 billion or about 20 percent of the project value worth RP 231.8 billion. He then explained that the second choice could be taken by the KPK, namely directly OTT, so that the company confirmed to win the auction process could not execute the project because of the fraud. Asep said that the KPK of the two choices that could be taken chose to execute OTT immediately, even with the seizure of money from evidence that was not raised. However, he said, in this second choice, the KPK can prevent road projects from being performed with a scam. “Because if these parties have not checked, the project will of course not maximize the project or the results of the work later. Because some of the money is at least earlier, about 46 billion will be used to obtain the work, not for the construction of the road,” Asep said. “Of course, this second choice was taken. Although it is the money delayed for the parties that are not as large as the KPK is taking the first option, but of course the benefits of the community will be greater if they take the second option,” he concluded. The arrest at Mandailing Natal was carried out by the KPK on Thursday (6/26). Six people arrested were flown to Jakarta on Friday (6/27). Of the six people arrested, the KPK then mentioned five suspects. One of the parties called the suspect was the head of the Northern Sumatra Province PuPR office, Typhoon Ginting.
