Ono Surono Reluctant to Comment Extensively on Search of His Home

Following a search of Ono Surono’s home by the KPK, the Chairman of the West Java PDI Perjuangan chapter, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the West Java Provincial Legislative Council, was reluctant to comment extensively. “Yes, it will be explained by the legal team,” said Ono, after attending an internal consolidation meeting of the DPD and DPC PDI Perjuangan, accompanied by the handover and socialisation of a decree from the DPP PDI Perjuangan in Kampung Kedung Menjangan, Kalijaga Ward, Harjamukti Subdistrict, Cirebon City, on Thursday night (2/4). Ono also stated that all official statements would be provided by his legal team. “Yes, the legal team, there has already been a release,” said Ono. As previously reported, KPK investigators searched Ono Surono’s private home on Jalan Jati Indah V Number 4, Gumuruh Ward, Batununggal Subdistrict, Bandung City, on Wednesday (1/4). Subsequently, the KPK investigators continued the search at Ono Surono’s private home in Graha Sudirman Housing Complex Block A4 Number 5, RT 03 RW 07, Lemah Mekar Ward, Indramayu Subdistrict/Regency, on Thursday (2/4). During the search in Indramayu, Ono Surono and his family were not present. Only a domestic assistant and several workers repairing the house were there. The search in Indramayu began around 08:30 WIB and lasted until approximately 11:30 WIB. It turned out that Ono was attending a special plenary session of the Cirebon Regency Legislative Council for the 544th Anniversary. However, even on that occasion, Ono was reluctant to comment and meet the journalists waiting for him. The searches of Ono Surono’s homes, both in Bandung and Indramayu, conducted by the KPK are related to the investigation of the alleged corruption case involving project advances within the Bekasi Regency Government, which implicates the inactive Bekasi Regent, Ade Kuswara Kunang (ADK). The KPK has also named Bekasi Regent Ade Kuswara Kunang (ADK) and his father HM Kunang (HMK) as suspects in the alleged corruption case of receiving gratuities or promises in the form of project advance money. Previously, on Thursday (15/1), Ono Surono also visited the KPK’s Merah Putih Building as a witness in that case. This matter is a development from the KPK’s hand arrest operation (OTT) in April 2023.

The KPK seized hundreds of millions of rupiah and documents from the home of West Java DPRD member Ono Surono related to the Bekasi project advance bribery case implicating Ade Kuswara Kunang.
