KPK Schedules Press Conference on Kuansing Sting Operation for Wednesday

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled a press conference to announce the results of a sting operation (OTT) within the Kuantan Singingi (Kuansing) Regency Government, Riau, on Wednesday (1/7).

“For the press conference, we have scheduled it for tomorrow afternoon or evening,” stated KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo at the KPK Merah Putih Building, Jakarta, on Tuesday.

Budi explained that the KPK will present the legal construction of the alleged bribery, including the parties who have been named as suspects in the operation.

“We will present the construction of the alleged bribery and identify which parties suspected of being involved have been named as suspects during the press conference,” he said.

“Naturally, the search activities are intended to obtain additional evidence to strengthen the evidentiary tools in the investigation of this case,” he added.

Previously, on Tuesday (30/6), the KPK confirmed that it had conducted sting operations in Kuansing and Jakarta, securing 10 individuals. This operation marks the 14th sting operation conducted by the KPK throughout 2026.

The KPK has also requested that the Regent of Kuansing, Suhardiman Amby, and the Regional Secretary of Kuansing, Zulkarnain, surrender themselves. Both are allegedly linked to a bribery case involving the sale and purchase of regional secretary positions. In handling the case, the KPK also seized one vehicle suspected of being an instrument of the bribe.
