T
he chief of the police's Detective Corps, Comr. Gen. Budi Waseso, received support from Jakarta Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama on Monday to question a number of civil servants in connection with a graft case investigation regarding the 2014 procurement of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units.
'I met with Pak governor to coordinate follow up on the UPS graft case. We have to ask for his permit to question his staff in our investigation into the case,' he said as quoted by kompas.com.
Budi, accompanied by Ahok, said that to expedite the questioning, the governor's staff would be questioned in their own working environment so it would not substantially disturb their daily activities.
The police also questioned City Council deputy chairman Abraham 'Lulung' Lunggana for the second time as a witness in the case. (rms)(+++)
