It has been three years since the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) uncovered the case brokering scandal in the institution, which ensnared then Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Azis Syamsuddin (Golkar). Six months after the case was uncovered, Azis was found guilty, but has now been released on parole. Interestingly, the KPK has not stopped investigating this case. 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.To subscribe please click here
