Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan could be in trouble after the president director of city-owned developer PD Sarana Jaya, Yoory Pinontoang, was named a suspect in a graft investigation linked to the governor’s zero-down-payment housing policy.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named Yoory a suspect for allegedly marking up the cost for the purchase of a 4.2ha plot of land supposedly earmarked for Anies’ subsidised housing programme, resulting in financial losses of around 100 billion rupiah (RM28mil) to the city.
