Health Ministry officials return alleged graft money to KPK

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 03/23/2009 5:43 PM

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) says it has received some Rp 1. 2 billion (US$ 100,000) from a total Rp 71 billion that was allegedly embezzled by Health Ministry officials and businessmen in the ministry's procurement of X-ray equipment in 2003.

KPK deputy chairman Bibit Samad Riyanto told kompas.com on Monday that ministry officials had handed the money to the commission.

Previously, the KPK had declared former PT Kimia Farma director Gunawan Pranoto, Rifa Jaya Mulya director Rinaldi Yusuf and the head of a similar X-ray equipment procurement project (from 2007), Mardiono, as suspects in the case. (ewd)
