Kulon Progo Vice Regent on Alleged Corruption at PT SAK: IDR 32 Billion in Capital Has Vanished!
The Vice Regent of Kulon Progo, Ambar Purwoko, stated that the amount of capital injection from the Regional Budget (APBD) to the Regional-Owned Enterprise (BUMD), namely PT Selo Adikarto (SAK), reached IDR 32 billion. This capital injection is outlined in Regional Regulation number 7 of 2017 concerning the Limited Liability Company Selo Adikarto.
This regulation was signed by the Regent of Kulon Progo at that time, Hasto Wardoyo, on August 28, 2017. In the regulation, specifically in article 8, it is stated that the authorized capital of PT Selo Adikarto is set at IDR 32,149,300,000.
Ambar revealed that the capital injection from the APBD has been completely used up. Furthermore, according to information received from the Kulon Progo District Attorney’s Office (Kejari), PT SAK has consistently experienced losses despite undertaking many projects.
“The capital injection is stated in the 2017 Regional Regulation, which is publicly available. So, the amount of government capital injection is definitely IDR 32 billion, and it is no longer available,” Ambar explained when met by detikJogja at the Kulon Progo Regent’s Office on Wednesday (February 25, 2026).
“The APBD capital injection has been used up. The Attorney’s Office has conveyed that the situation is such that, for example, the projects have been losing money every year, even though they can be considered straightforward, which clearly indicates that there is no profit, and this raises questions,” he continued.
Ambar also stated that he is not fully aware of what happened within the company, which operates in the construction and asphalt processing sectors. Therefore, he has handed everything over to the Kulon Progo Prosecutor’s Office.
“We do not know the details because, in the past, we were not yet here,” said Ambar.
“Indeed, our approach is that the Kulon Progo Regional Government supports the Attorney’s Office’s process. Corruption must be eradicated,” he emphasized.
Previously, the Kulon Progo Prosecutor’s Office was still investigating the alleged criminal act of corruption in the financial management that occurred at PT SAK from 2016 to 2024. Several witnesses have also been questioned.
The Head of Intelligence at the Kulon Progo Prosecutor’s Office, Hendra, said that the investigative team is in the process of collecting evidence. He said that a total of 25 witnesses, consisting of PT SAK administrators and the Kulon Progo Regional Government, have been questioned.
“The investigative team has examined 25 witnesses, consisting of administrators of PT Selo Adikarto and the Kulon Progo Regional Government,” said Hendra in a written statement on Tuesday (February 24).
Hendra explained that the investigative team has requested a public accountant to calculate the company’s financial statements for the period 2016-2024.
“The results will be submitted to the auditor to calculate the state’s financial losses,” he said.
In addition, they also requested an investment audit from the YKPN Polytechnic. The purpose is to ensure the flow of funds in and out during the period 2016-2024.
“The investigators have also requested an investment audit from the YKPN Polytechnic to be carried out in order to calculate the state’s financial losses in this case,” he concluded.
