JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is planning to summons former popular West Java governor Ridwan Kamil of Golkar Party as a witness in their investigation into a botched procurement at publicly listed lender Bank BJB.

This comes after KPK investigators last week searched Ridwan’s house in Bandung, the capital city of West Java, as part of their probe into the embezzlement scheme in the procurement of advertising services at Bank BJB, the regional development bank of West Java and Banten.
