Jakarta (B2B) - President Director of the states oil and gas company PT Pertamina Karen Agustiawan responded to the anti-graft bodys summons as a witness in the oil and gas bribery case of 2012-2013.
"I appear today before the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in response to the summons, speaking as a witness for the Upstream Oil and Gas regulatory special task force (SKK Migas) head Rudi Rubiandini," Karen said shortly after arriving at the anti-graft offices building here on Thursday.
Earlier, the Commission had scheduled an examination of Karens testimony on Monday, Nov. 4, but she was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict with other important items on her agenda.
The anti-graft body investigators had previously summoned PT Pertaminas employees Isdiana Putri Karma and Bhimasakti.
Pertamina, in September 2013, had been entrusted with selling the governments crude oil and condensate, where crude oil from across the entire country was processed in refineries owned by Pertamina.
The Commission has named former SKK head Rudi Rubiandini as a suspect in the alleged oil and gas corruption case after he was caught red-handed in a sting operation on Aug. 13, 2013, along with US$400 thousand, collected as evidence, which had been given to him by Commissioner of PT Kernel Oil Private Limited Simon Gunawan Tanjaya through Rudis golf coach, Deviardi, who has also been arrested by the Commission.
This case of accepting bribes is allegedly the second occurrence for Rudi, where the first instance occurred in mid-2013 with a sum of US$300 thousand.
