It has been nearly four years since the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) uncovered the case brokering scandal in the institution, the case which ensnared the then Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Azis Syamsuddin (Golkar), and which later lead to other cases of alleged corruption. Six months after the case was uncovered, Azis was found guilty, but has now been released on parole. In January 2024, Azis answered the KPK’s summons and was questioned as a witness for apparently a new suspect in the case, the disgraced Regent of Kutai Kartanegara, Rita Widyasari (Golkar). We have not heard any progress since then, instead, the KPK proceeded to investigate Rita on allegations of money laundering and she managed to drag some important people into this mess.
