KPK: Unexplained Assets in LHKPN of Kalimantan‘s BPJN Chief Spark Investigation
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has announced progress in analyzing the Wealth Report of State Officials (LHKPN) of Kalimantan Barat‘s Balai Pelaksana Jalan Nasional (BPJN) head, Dedy Mandarsyah. KPK revealed that there are assets owned by Dedy that were not included in his LHKPN.
"Several assets were not reported," said Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring at KPK, Pahala Nainggolan, when contacted on Friday (27/12/2024). Pahala added that KPK will continue with an investigation but did not specify when the examination of Dedy’s case would take place. "We will continue with an examination," he stated.
Previously, KPK was examining Dedy Mandarsyah’s LHKPN. The KPK checked the accuracy of the LHKPN submitted by Dedy. "Currently, the LHKPN team at KPK is conducting an analysis on Mr. Dedy Mandarsyah’s LHKPN as part of the LHKPN examination process within the framework of preventing corruption," said KPK’s spokesperson team, Budi Prasetyo, to journalists, Tuesday (17/12). "Among other things, in this examination process, an analysis is carried out regarding the accuracy of the reported assets and other assets that are suspected to have not been reported, which require supporting data from external parties," he continued.
Budi urged the public to help provide information about Dedy Mandarsyah’s assets. Budi expressed gratitude towards those who have assisted KPK in investigating this case. "We also appreciate the public who have raised this issue. KPK is committed to answering problems and addressing the public’s concerns, especially in the context of anti-corruption efforts," he stated.
Dedy is known to be the father of a student at the University of Sriwijaya (Unsri) Palembang named Lady, who gained attention for protesting the night shift schedule at a hospital in Palembang around the New Year. This incident was suspected to have triggered the persecution of another student, Luthfi.
In several cases, KPK has indeed investigated LHKPN after viral cases on social media. One such case was the former director general of the Taxation Department of the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun, after a case of persecution by his son Mario Dandy against David Ozora.
