KPK Summons Pemalang Water Utility and Central Java Water Company Chiefs

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned Budi Harsudiyono Setyo Aji, president director of the Tirta Mulia Regional Drinking Water Company of Pemalang Regency (PDAM Pemalang), and Aji Setya Budi, president director of PT Tirta Utama Jawa Tengah (Perseroda), to be questioned as witnesses in an alleged extortion case involving suspended Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro.

“The KPK has scheduled the examination of witnesses BHS (Budi), as president director of PDAM Pemalang, and ASB (Aji), as president director of PT Tirta Utama Jateng,” KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo told journalists in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Budi added that both witnesses were scheduled to be questioned at the KPK’s Merah Putih Building in Jakarta.

On 30 July 2026, the KPK announced the results of an operation and named four people as suspects in two alleged extortion schemes.

The first alleged scheme involved Anom extorting officials in the Pemalang Regency Government and private-sector parties. In this case, the KPK named Anom and his confidant, Mohamad Haris, also known as Gus Haris, as suspects.

The second alleged scheme involved extortion targeting Anom and allegedly implicated Setya Budi Dias Oktavianto and his father, Lilik Budi Suprianto. Setya is a member of the Indonesian National Police who was seconded to the KPK as an administrative staff member.

The KPK suspects that Setya gave Lilik information about administrative procedures in case handling. Lilik allegedly used that information to solicit money from Anom by offering to arrange the handling of his case at the KPK.
