JAKARTA - Head of the Toll Road Regulatory Agency (BPJT) of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Danang Parikesit responded to the KPK's endorsement regarding the potential state loss of Rp4.5 trillion.

Danang said the funds were BLU funds borrowed by 12 Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT) for land acquisition.

"The BLU funds for land funding of Rp. 4.5 trillion consist of two components. First, Rp. 4.2 trillion is the principal loan and Rp. 300 billion is interest, fines and added value to the loan," he said at the DPR RI Building, Jakarta, Tuesday, March 28.

For the principal loan, said Danang, his party has re-arrested the payment completion of the 12 BUJTs. Of the 12 BPJTs, he reported, one of them has paid off his debt. Meanwhile, 11 other BUJTs have scheduled payments until next year.

Furthermore, said Danang, regarding added value, interest and fines, currently the Minister of Finance Regulation (PMK) has been signed by the Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati.

This rule will determine the amount of added value, interest, and fines, which will refer to the results of the audit by the Development Finance Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

"Once completed and promulgated, we will add interest, fines, and added value to the principal loan that must be paid by BUJT no later than 2024," said Danang.

The Head of BPJT also said that this action plan had been communicated by the Inspector General of the Ministry of PUPR to the Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring of the KPK Pahala Nainggolan through a letter, which contained a follow-up to the concurrent position at the Ministry of PUPR.

"The term of office has been completed. This means that those who hold concurrent positions have no longer held the position of commissioner in the related BUJT," added Danang.

For your information, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said that the state is at risk of losing IDR 4.5 trillion in toll road management.

KPK Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring Pahala Nainggolan said the risk of losses arose because the toll road manager did not return the Rp4.5 trillion which was previously used for land acquisition purposes for toll road construction.
