Golkar Party and Nusron Wahid corruption investigation

Overview

The Golkar Party and Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (ATR/BPN), Nusron Wahid, have faced scrutiny following a Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigation into alleged bribery regarding Building Use Rights (HGB) management.

Initial reports indicated that the Golkar Party was deferring the legal process to the KPK, specifically regarding the involvement of ‘trusted associates’ of Minister Wahid. Golkar Vice Chairman Ahmad Doli Kurnia Tandjung stated that while four individuals close to the Minister were identified, the matter must be proven through legal channels.

In response to the investigation, it was confirmed that Nusron Wahid had resigned from his position within the Golkar Party leadership, specifically as Chairman of Religious and Spiritual Affairs, more than six months prior. While he remains a party cadre, the resignation occurred amidst the KPK operations involving Ministry of ATR/BPN officials. Wahid has expressed respect for the legal process, stating he hopes the case serves as momentum for internal reforms within the ministry.

Recent developments indicate the KPK investigation into alleged bribery related to HGB for PT Summarecon Agung Tbk in Bogor has resulted in eight suspects, including several individuals close to the Minister.

On September 22, 2026, the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) officially passed the Agrarian Reform Regulation Law. This legislation aims to address land ownership inequality and resolve conflicts affecting farmers and indigenous communities. A central component is the establishment of the Land Reform Implementation Agency (LPRA), a new body reporting directly to the President. The LPRA is tasked with planning, executing, supervising, and resolving agrarian conflicts to reduce overlapping authority between agencies. Following the law's passage, the government intends to draft Government Regulations to define land ownership limits to address structural conflicts.
