Rita arrived at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) building here at 09.00 a.m. to give her testimonies on the involvement of Riau Governor Rusli Zainal in the graft case.
Rita was supposed to show up at the KPK building on April 2 but she failed as she was still abroad.
KPK spokesman Johan Budi said earlier Rusli was accused of bribing a group of local legislators, through head of the Riau sports and youth office Lukman Abbas, in an attempt to expedite the revision of a bylaw to increase the budget allocation for the construction of the PON venues.
Besides Rusli, the KPK also has named 13 other suspects in the graft case, 10 of them members of the Riau provincial legislative council (DPRD).
Three of the local legislators, Faisal Aswan of the Golkar Party faction, M Dunir of the Nation`s Awakening Party (PKB) faction and Taufan Andoso of the National Mandate Party (PAN) faction, have been sentenced to four years` imprisonment each.
The three other suspects are former head of the Riau provincial youth and sports office Lukman Abbas, the head of the office`s sports facility and infrastructure section, Rka Dharma Putri, and employee of state construction firm PT Pembangunan Perumahan (PP) Rahmat Syaputra.
On March 13, Lukman was sentenced to five years in jail and ordered to pay Rp200 million in fines, or face an extra three months in prison, for bribing Rp900 million to the legislators and taking a bribe of Rp700 million from building contractor PT Adhi Karya and joint operation contractors in the project.
