Jakarta. The Corruption Eradication Commission on Wednesday declared former Home Affairs Minister Hari Sabarno a suspect for his alleged role in an illegal procurement project to provide fire engines across the country in 2003 and 2004.
Johan Budi, spokesman for the commission, also known as the KPK, said they had charged Sabarno with violating articles 2 and 3 of the 1999 Law on Corruption. The offenses carry a maximum combined sentence of life imprisonment.
Sabarno is accused of conspiring with the ministry’s former director general of regional autonomy, Oentarto Sindung Mawardi, and the late businessman Hengky Samuel Daud to inflate the budget of the fire engines by as much as 100 percent, costing the state Rp 98.6 billion ($11 million) in losses.
In January, Oentarto received three years in prison for his role in the bribery case, while Hengky was sentenced a month later to an unprecedented 15-year jail term.
Hengky died while serving his sentence this year leading the government to launch a civil suit against his heirs, seeking restitution of state losses.
During the trials of Oentarto and Hengky, several governors and district heads said the former minister from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) had instructed them to purchase fire engines exclusively from Hengky’s Istana Sarana Raya and Satal Nusantara regardless of the actual needs of the area’s fire departments.
