JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission’s (KPK) probe into alleged corruption in the construction of the Jakarta-Bandung high speed railway Whoosh is proceeding apace after President Prabowo Subianto reassured the public about having "no major problems" with the project's lingering debt.
The preliminary investigation, which began earlier this year, is still ongoing and aims to determine whether any criminal acts of corruption occurred in the project, KPK deputy chairman Johanis Tanak said, adding that investigators were still gathering evidence. “There is no prohibition [from the President] against conducting an investigation,” Johanis told reporters on Wednesday (Nov 5).
