The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a sting operation on November 18, 2018 and subsequently named several people as graft suspects including the Regent of Pakpak Bharat one Remigo Yolando Berutu. The KPK did not disclosed the identity of the briber in the case until December 2018 but the inquisition process was completed within less than two months and the trial of the briber begin this week. Separately, the small case the KPK uncovered near the end of 2018 related to the construction of Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) turns out to be a huge scheme of corruption. As per February 26, 2019, the KPK already received money from over 50 Commitment-Making Officials, money that were allegedly given as bribes.
