Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday questioned Jakarta Vice Governor-elect Sandiaga Uno as a witness in an alleged corruption case related to the construction of the Udayana Education Hospital from 2009 to 2011.

"(I come) to meet the summons of the KPK in my capacity as former commissioner of PT Nusa Konstruksi Enjiniring. I have clarified it in around May, but I have received other summons. As a good citizen, I must abide by the law," Uno stated after arriving at the KPK building.

Uno noted that he will furnish full information and will be cooperative during the questioning.

Uno remarked that he is still coordinating with the board of commissioners and the board of directors of PT Nusa Konstruksi Enjiniring formerly known as PT Duta Graha Indah (DGI).

"Let me enter (the KPK building) first. Do not be prejudiced. These are political steps. Should we support the KPKs steps to get rid of corruption in government and private institutions in Indonesia? After the questioning, I will give complete information," he stated.

The KPK has completed the investigation into the involvement of President Director of PT DGI Dudung Purwadi who has been named a suspect in the case. The KPK is in the process of filing a suit against Purwadi.

On May 23, the KPK had also summoned Uno as a witness in the case.(*)
