The second was Arif Budiman as Procurement Officer, the third was Hendri as PPK, and the fourth was Ferdinand Eskol Sirait as Budget User Authority),” he said. “We hope that they will be quickly summoned and investigated,” he added. Asep Guntur Rahayu, acting deputy for enforcement and execution of the Corruption Eradication Commission, said he would first check the report. He explained that the stages of public complaints to the Corruption Eradication Commission will definitely be reviewed first. “So the process is like this. First report it to PLPM or Dumas, complain from the public. Later from there it will be looked at first, then settled and other things will be studied. Only then will it escalate to investigation,” Asep said. “Just move deputies, change deputies. That’s how it is. So we’re both waiting. It’s earlier than the investigation,” he added. (ial/mo)
