Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the house belonging to the Chairman of Commission IV DPR RI Sudin in the Cimanggis area, Depok. This search was related to the investigation into the corruption case of former Minister of Agriculture Syahrul Yasin Limpo.
“The information we received is correct, and activities are still ongoing,” said KPK spokesman Ali Fikri, Friday, (10/11/2023).
Ali did not explain further about the search. However, the Corruption Eradication Commission actually scheduled an examination of Sub-Department for Friday, today. Sudin and a number of other parties were summoned to be examined as witnesses in the SYL case. Ali said Sudin said he couldn’t attend.
“The information we obtained was that the person concerned was unable to attend and confirm it with the investigation team, so we will reschedule it,” said Ali.
Sudin is a politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle who comes from the Electoral District of Lampung I. He serves as Chairman of Commission IV which is in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture.

Corruption Eradication Committee Director of Investigation Asep Guntur Rahayu said investigators were investigating the flow of Syahrul Yasin Limpo’s corruption funds. This search was the reason the Corruption Eradication Committee summoned Sub-Department for questioning.
“From the statements of the witnesses, we have to trace where the money flows and of course one of them is to Commission IV of the DPR,” said Asep.
In the corruption case at the Ministry of Agriculture, the Corruption Eradication Committee named 3 people as suspects, namely Syahrul and the Secretary General of the Ministry of Agriculture, Kasdi Subagyono, as well as the Director of Agricultural Machinery, Muhammad Hatta.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that Syahrul ordered Kasdi and Hatta to levy levies against officials at the Ministry of Agriculture. At the direction of SYL, KS and MH ordered their subordinates to collect a certain amount of money within echelon I, Director Generals, Agency Heads, and Secretaries in each echelon I with a value determined by SYL with a range from US$ 4,000 to US$ 10,000.
