JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is advancing its investigation into alleged bribery related to the procurement of goods and services within the Rejang Lebong Regency and other areas in Bengkulu Province, with two new suspects formally identified.

“As of October 2026,” said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo in a statement on Tuesday (20/10/2026).

A letter of investigation order (Sprindik) concerning this case was issued in October 2026.

The two new suspects in this case are Eko Yusanto, the President Director of PT Cahaya Mas Cemerlang, and B Daditama, the Deputy Chairman of the Rejang Lebong DPD PAN for the 2024-2026 term and an Expert Staff for the RPJMD 2025-2029 from March 2025 to September 2026.

He mentioned that investigators have already questioned Eko Yusanto regarding the procurement of goods and services that he was involved in.

“In addition, the investigators are also seeking information regarding alleged payments made to the Rejang Lebong Regent or affiliates,” he stated.

Meanwhile, he noted that B Daditama has not been questioned yet due to the absence of his legal counsel.

“Therefore, for the time being, his questioning will not proceed. The interrogations of both individuals are being conducted in their capacity as suspects,” he added.
