JAKARTA – National Awakening Party (PKB) leader Muhaimin Iskandar, who was recently declared as running for vice president alongside former Jakarta governor Anies Baswedan in the 2024 election, attended a questioning session at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) headquarters in Jakarta on Thursday as part of an investigation into a 2012 graft case at the Manpower Ministry.
The antigraft body questioned Muhaimin as a witness in alleged corruption pertaining to a Rp 20 billion (US$1.3 million) software procurement for migrant workers’ protection at the ministry in 2012 when he served as the manpower and transmigration minister.
Muhaimin came to the KPK headquarters around 10 a.m. After the five-hour interrogation, the PKB politician told the press he supported the antigraft body’s investigation.
