Where is Nusron Wahid, Who Has Missed Two KPK Summons?

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The whereabouts of Agrarian and Spatial Planning Minister Nusron Wahid have raised public questions since he missed two summons from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to be questioned as a witness in the bribery case involving 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 a prior internal agenda at the ATR/BPN Ministry.

The KPK subsequently issued another summons for Nusron on Thursday (15/10/2026), but he again failed to appear.

Acting KPK Investigation Director Ahmad Taufik Husein stated that Nusron Wahid sent a letter requesting a postponement of his examination on Wednesday (14/10/2026).

“Regarding NW, it is true that on October 14, it was supposed to coincide with the investigator's summons, but then there was a letter from him requesting a postponement,” said Acting KPK Investigation Director Ahmad Taufik Husein at the KPK Red and White Building in South Jakarta on Friday (16/10/2026).

Business Trip to Malaysia

Taufik also mentioned that Nusron failed to respond to the summons due to a business trip to Malaysia.

“So initially there was a letter regarding a concurrent agenda. Then, on the 14th, it was a business trip abroad. If I'm not mistaken, it was Malaysia,” he explained.

He added that the KPK would analyze the reasonableness and appropriateness of the request for postponement submitted by Nusron Wahid.

Because, he said, Nusron's reason for not complying with the investigator's summons was due to having another agenda that coincided with the KPK's summons.

“Because there was indeed an agenda listed that coincided, it will then be re-evaluated whether that reason is considered appropriate and reasonable, as there was indeed an agenda listed that coincided, it will then be re-evaluated,” he stated.

Separately, the Director General of Immigration, Hendarsam Marantoko, confirmed that he was traveling to Malaysia and Singapore.

He said Nusron proceeded on a business trip from Singapore via Batam, Riau Islands, and then continued to Malaysia.

“But if he indeed traveled from Singapore via Batam and then to Malaysia and engaged in what is termed a business trip, that is confirmed, yes,” Hendarsam said at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta on Tuesday (20/10/2026).

Nevertheless, Hendarsam could not confirm whether Nusron Wahid had returned to Indonesia yet.

“Well, I have not been informed whether he is already in Indonesia or not,” he stated.

Hendarsam noted that thus far, no preventive measures have been taken against Nusron Wahid by law enforcement officials.

“As of now, no, there hasn't been any. To our knowledge, there has not been any so far,” he added.
