Youth and Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi gives a statement to journalists at his official residence in the Widya Chandra complex, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Wednesday (18/9/2019) in connection to the decision of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to name him a suspect in a bribery case pertaining to a grant for the National Sports Council (KONI) in the 2018 budget year from the ministry.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has announced that it has named Youth and Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi as suspect in a graft case related to a government grant for the National Sports Committee (KONI). The announcement is a stern warning about sports funding in Indonesia and points to the need for a thorough review of the system, as this is not the first such case involving the sports minister.

In 2012, then-sports minister Andi Mallarangeng also faced legal case in connection with the construction of a sports facility in Hambalang, Bogor. Andi resigned as minister after the KPK named him as a suspect in the case.
