The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned a confidant of former MPR RI Secretary General Ma’ruf Cahyono for questioning as a witness in a case investigating alleged gratuities within the MPR RI Secretariat General. “The KPK has scheduled an examination at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta for ZKR, a private entrepreneur,” said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists in Jakarta on Wednesday. In addition to ZKR, Budi stated that the KPK summoned three civil servants from the MPR RI Secretariat General for questioning on Wednesday, identified by the initials RRS, TRY, and CCR. Prior to summoning these witnesses, the KPK had examined four witnesses in Jakarta on Tuesday (14/7).
