Jakarta – The Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that Maidi, whilst serving as Mayor of Madiun, received remuneration from projects at the Madiun Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUPR), East Java, amounting to 4–10 percent.

KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the commission further investigated the suspicions with six state civil servants (ASN) from the Madiun PUPR Agency on Wednesday.

“All witnesses were present. Investigators questioned the witnesses regarding allegations of project fees (remuneration) at the PUPR Agency for the benefit of the Mayor, ranging between 4 and 10 percent,” Budi told journalists in Jakarta on Wednesday.

The six ASN involved were DSN as Head of Water Resources Management Division, AS as Head of Road Development Division, GYP as Sub-coordinator for Road and Bridge Maintenance, HS as Head of Public Works Division, RS as Sub-coordinator for Building Arrangement, and SBM as Sub-coordinator for Building and Environmental Arrangement.
