Indonesia’s KPK Reviews Minister’s Absences in Land Agency Corruption Probe
Indonesia’s anti-corruption agency, the KPK, is investigating alleged corruption involving the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning and the National Land Agency.
The KPK has named eight people as suspects, including senior officials, private-sector figures and the head of a land office in Bogor district.
Minister Nusron Wahid is being sought as a witness, and investigators are reviewing his explanation for missing two summonses.
The KPK says his testimony could help clarify how the alleged events unfolded and whether other people played significant roles.
It has urged him to put the legal process first amid information that he may travel to Japan.
The next summons date has not been set; the KPK says it will provide an update when one is arranged.
