CIKARANG – The Regional Board of the Young Indonesian Activist Community (PD KAMI) of Bekasi Regency is urging the Acting Regent of Bekasi to immediately evaluate officials at the Public Works Agency who were mentioned by the non-active Regent of Bekasi, ADK, during a trial on Wednesday (April 15, 2026) at the Bandung Corruption Court (Tipikor).

“The Bekasi Regency Government, through the Acting Regent, Regional Secretary, and Head of the Regional Personnel Agency, should promptly evaluate the officials at the Public Works Agency. The Head of the Division, known as ‘Bocil,’ was clearly mentioned by the non-active Regent ADK while giving testimony that became a fact in the trial before KPK prosecutors and Corruption Court judges,” said the Head of Investigation at PD KAMI Bekasi Regency, Ervin.

The public has the right to question if the Acting Regent, Regional Secretary, and Head of the Regional Personnel Agency do not evaluate the officials at the Public Works Agency.

“It is clear that the Head of the Agency was involved in that case. Then the Head of the Division, ‘Bocil,’ was also mentioned by the witness, the non-active Regent ADK, in the Corruption Court trial. There is no reason for the Acting Regent of Bekasi not to conduct an evaluation at the Public Works Agency. We all know who is meant by the Head of the Division ‘Bocil’,” he said.

It is known that in the trial of the project pre-selling case at the Bandung Corruption Court with defendant Sarjan on Wednesday (April 15, 2026), several witnesses were presented: the non-active Regent of Bekasi, Ade Kuswara (ADK); HM Kunang, the Regent’s father; Jejen Sayuti, the Regent’s father-in-law; and several members of the Bekasi Regency Regional House of Representatives: Aria Dei Nugraha, Nyumarno, and Iin Farihin.

The trial, held in Courtroom II of Wirjono Prodjodikoro, appeared packed with visitors and cadres from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) who wanted to meet their Regional Leadership Council Chairman, who is also the non-active Regent of Bekasi, Ade Kuswara Kunang.

In his testimony, Ade Kuswara confirmed that he was invited by Sugiharto to meet Sarjan and Yayat at the Gayo restaurant in the Lippo Cikarang area during the afternoon.

“Mr. Yayat and Mr. Sarjan congratulated me on my election. Then both introduced themselves as contractors,” he explained.

Furthermore, while giving testimony before three judges and KPK prosecutors, at a subsequent meeting at Yayat’s house in the Cibubur area, Ade admitted that Yayat introduced someone with the position of Head of the Division (Kabid) ‘Bocil’ at the Public Works Agency.

“Yayat first introduced the Head of the Division of the Public Works Agency. If I am not mistaken, it was the Head of the Development Division, the ‘Bocil.’ Then he said that the ‘Bocil’ was Yayat’s person. In my mind, I thought, who is going to be Regent, me or Yayat? That was roughly it. Then I listened further, and he entrusted the ‘Bocil’ to me,” said Ade while giving testimony that became a fact in the trial with defendant Sarjan.

The KPK prosecutor quickly questioned Ade about what Yayat said at that meeting. “Then what did he say at that time? What were his words?” he asked. “Don’t replace him,” Ade responded directly to the KPK prosecutor’s question.
