KPK Opens Possibility of Seeking Information from Oesman Sapta Odang Regarding Religious Affairs Minister
Jakarta (ANTARA) — The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has opened the possibility of seeking information from Hanura Party chairman Oesman Sapta Odang (OSO) regarding the alleged provision of gratification to Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar.
“During the analysis phase, it is possible to request additional information or statements from certain parties,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists in Jakarta on Monday.
Budi said the KPK is currently verifying the completeness of the minister’s report concerning the alleged gratification in the form of travel facilities using a private jet.
“From the report, the team will check the completeness of the filing, and then conduct an analysis to determine the status of the provision of said facilities,” he said.
Previously, on 16 February 2026, posts on social media platform X drew widespread attention to the Religious Affairs Minister’s use of a private jet.
On the same date, the head of the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ Public Relations and Communications Bureau, Thobib Al Asyhar, explained that the minister had used a private jet when visiting Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi, on 15 February 2026.
Thobib further explained that the private jet belonged to national figure Oesman Sapta Odang, who had lent it to the minister for reasons of time efficiency.
“Mr OSO specifically invited and hoped the Sarkiah Hall would be inaugurated by the Religious Affairs Minister. Mr OSO also took the initiative to arrange a private jet for the minister so he could attend amid his packed schedule,” Thobib said in an official statement on the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ website on Monday.
On 18 February 2026, KPK chairman Setyo Budiyanto expressed hope that the minister would report the alleged gratification without having to be summoned by the anti-corruption body.
On 23 February 2026, the Religious Affairs Minister visited the KPK to report the alleged gratification.
