Bahlil's Reaction When Asked About Nusron Wahid Missing Two KPK Summons

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Bahlil Lahadalia, Chairman of Golkar Party, and his party member, Minister of ATR/BPN Nusron Wahid, both attended the Plenary Cabinet Meeting at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Wednesday (21/10/2026).

Bahlil was asked about his instructions to Nusron regarding the KPK summons. However, he responded that it was not the primary purpose of their attendance at the cabinet meeting at the Palace.

"That is not part of the meeting materials," Bahlil said as he promptly entered his car at the Palace on Wednesday evening.

When questioned by the media about Nusron, Bahlil declined to comment further.

He even suddenly embraced the Head of the IKN Authority, Basuki Hadimuljono, as reporters pursued him.

Nusron Has Missed KPK Summons Twice

Nusron Wahid's whereabouts have raised public questions since he missed two summons from the KPK to be questioned as a witness in the bribery case concerning the Management of Building Use Rights (HGB) for PT Summarecon Tbk.

According to records from Kompas.com, Nusron was first summoned on Wednesday (7/10/2026).

However, he was absent, citing prior commitments at the ATR/BPN Ministry.

Then, the KPK issued a second summons for Nusron on Thursday (15/10/2026).

Yet, Nusron again failed to respond to the KPK's summons.

The KPK stated that Nusron Wahid sent a request to postpone his interrogation on Wednesday (14/10/2026).

"Regarding NW, it is true that on the 14th (of October), he should have complied with the investigator's summons, but then he sent a letter requesting a postponement," said KPK's Acting Director of Investigations Ahmad Taufik Husein at the KPK Red and White Building in South Jakarta on Friday (16/10/2026).

Taufik also mentioned that Nusron did not comply with the summons due to official duties in Malaysia.

"So, for the first summons, there was a letter indicating a conflicting agenda. Then, for the last one on the 14th, it was a business trip abroad. If I'm not mistaken, it was to Malaysia," he said.
