After being named as a suspect in a bribery case by anti-graft body the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Minister of Youth and Sports Imam Nahrawi has resigned from his position.<\/p>\n

“This morning I met with Pak<\/em> Imam Nahrawi. I respect the legal proceedings conducted by the KPK that named him a suspect related to the grant for KONI (Indonesian Olympic Committee),” President Joko \u201cJokowi\u201d Widodo told reporters at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Thursday (19\/9).
\n
\nThe Minister, according to the President, has also submitted his resignation letter. “We will immediately appoint his successor or appoint an ad interim <\/em>Minister,” he said.<\/p>\n

The KPK on Wednesday (18\/9) named Imam Nahrawi a suspect in a bribery case related to the grant from Ministry of Youth and Sports to the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KONI) in fiscal year 2019.<\/p>\n

Imam allegedly received Rp26.5 billion (US$1.9 million) in bribes from KONI and head of Satlak Prima (Gold Program), a national sporting program for elite athletes that was dissolved in 2018.<\/p>\n

“The money was allegedly used for his personal interests and other parties involved,” KPK Deputy Chairperson Alexander Marwata said in a press conference at the KPK Building in South Jakarta, Wednesday (18\/9). (FID\/JAY\/ES)<\/p>\n
