The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has explained why\nAgrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning Minister and National Land Agency\n(ATR\/BPN) head Nusron Wahid failed to attend two summonses for\nquestioning as a witness in an alleged bribery case involving the\nunblocking of land-use rights (HGB) on land owned by PT Summarecon Agung\nTbk in Bogor Regency. The KPK said Nusron missed the summonses because\nhe was on official business in Malaysia.<\/p>\n
Acting KPK Director of Investigations Achmad Taufik Husein said the\ncommission had received a letter from Nusron requesting that his\nquestioning be postponed. In the letter, Nusron said he could not attend\nbecause he had other engagements.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are relying only on the letter from the person concerned,\u201d Taufik\nHusein told reporters at the KPK\u2019s Red and White Building in Kuningan,\nSouth Jakarta, on Friday (17 October 2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first time, there was a letter saying he had a conflicting\nengagement. Then, for the most recent summons, on the 14th, it was an\nofficial trip abroad. If I\u2019m not mistaken, to Malaysia,\u201d he\ncontinued.<\/p>\n
Taufik said investigators would assess the reasons Nusron had given\nbefore deciding what action to take next.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe investigation team will analyse whether those reasons are\nconsidered proper and reasonable, given that he listed a conflicting\nengagement. That will then be evaluated again: whether it warrants\nissuing a second summons or whether his questioning should be\nrescheduled,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Taufik said Nusron had sent an explanation for his absence, and the\ninvestigation team would therefore summon him again.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, the person concerned sent us a letter requesting a\npostponement. We will reschedule, of course,\u201d Taufik said.<\/p>\n
The KPK had resummoned Nusron to testify in the alleged bribery case\nconcerning the unblocking of HGB land owned by PT Summarecon Agung Tbk\nin Bogor Regency. The second summons was issued for the previous day,\nbut Nusron again failed to attend, having sent the commission a\npostponement request.<\/p>\n
Nusron had also missed the first summons, issued on Wednesday (7\nOctober).<\/p>\n
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said investigators needed Nusron\u2019s\ntestimony to shed further light on the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis testimony is needed by investigators to establish the full\nstructure of the case, so they can conduct further review and analysis\nand determine whether there were other parties with significant roles\nbesides those already named as suspects,\u201d Budi said at the KPK building\nin Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Wednesday (7 October).<\/p>\n
The KPK has named eight suspects in the alleged bribery case\ninvolving the unblocking of Summarecon land in Bogor Regency. It is also\ninvestigating suspected buying and selling of positions within the\nMinistry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning\/National Land\nAgency.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs for other alleged receipts, including payments linked to internal\nrotations, promotions or transfers, the ministry officials are also\nsuspected of receiving payments connected with other land services,\u201d KPK\nspokesman Budi Prasetyo said at the commission\u2019s building in Kuningan,\nSouth Jakarta, on Friday (18 September).<\/p>\n
