JAKARTA. As its investigation into alleged irregularities in the procurement of electronic identification (e-KTP) cards has intensified, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will likely identify more suspects in the case in the near future, the antigraft body’s top official said on Tuesday. KPK chairman Agus Rahardjo said the commission’s ongoing investigation might lead to the naming of several other people as suspects in the case. “The estimated state loss is immense, amounting to about Rp 2.3 trillion [US$175.84 million]. It’s impossible that only two people enjoyed such a huge sum of money,” he told reporters after attending the inauguration of Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) officers on Tuesday.
