Corruption case at PT Jamsostek

Corruption case at PT Jamsostek

From Media Indonesia

It was reported some time ago in the print and electronic
media that the president director of PT Jamsostek, Ahmad
Djunaidi, and the company's directors of investment and finance
were suspects in an alleged corruption case worth over Rp 23
billion in this particular company. This case was concerned with
the payment of compensation for land in Jl. Gatot Subroto,
Jakarta, now the site of Menara Jamsostek building.

An audit conducted by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) revealed
the alleged corruption. The Jakarta Police later followed up this
finding. This was then widely reported in Jakarta-based print and
electronic media. Strangely, nothing has been heard of this case
any more.

We all know that the president director of PT Jamsostek has
always acted firmly with subordinates involved in corruption.
Many have been dismissed and tried in court. Therefore, it is a
pity that this corruption case in which the top men in PT
Jamsostek are allegedly involved seems to have been shelved. It
will be ironical if it is proven that the broom that sweeps away
corruption is tainted with corruption.

It is many people's hope, therefore, that the police can
proceed with this alleged corruption case. Otherwise, there will
be suspicion that this case has been shelved at the request of
someone at the top just because the president director of PT
Jamsostek is from South Sumatra.

I trust Megawati will be firm against corruption, collusion
and nepotism.
