West Papua's ManOKWARI - Regional Police (Polda) have named eight of the nine people reported as suspects in the case of document falsification when accepting prospective civil servants (CPNS) within the scope of the provincial government. West Papua Police Criminal Investigation Director, Police Commissioner Novi Jaya, said that the determination of eight suspects was carried out through a case title process involving the internal team including the Criminal Investigation Directorate, Criminal Investigation Directorate, Resnarkoba Directorate, Irwasda, and Propam. "The results of the case title, eight reported people have been named as suspects," said Novi Jaya, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, June 27. However, he was reluctant to mention the initials of the eight suspects in order to facilitate further investigation process and not to close the possibility of additional suspects. After the determination of the suspect, he said, investigators will consider the detention of eight suspects in the case of falsification of the local provincial government's CPNS documents. "I may not mention the initials later. We will see from the examination later, if they are cooperative, there is no need to be arrested," he said. He explained that the alleged falsification of documents and age reduction in the acceptance of CPNS for the West Papua Provincial Government in 2018 was reported by the Honorary Forum 512. Document forgery was judged to violate Article 263 and 266 of the Criminal Code with a threat of imprisonment for six years. "The number of witnesses who have been questioned by investigators is approximately 30 people," he said. Previously, the Honorary Forum 512 visited the West Papua Regional Police to question the development of the case of alleged forgery of CPNS documents which had not been developed for six months.

He admitted that there were many parties trying to intervene so that the 512 Honorary Forum would withdraw reports of alleged falsification of CPNS documents within the provincial government. "Our arrival (Forum Honorary 512) questioned the clarity of the case because for six months there was no progress," said the Coordinator of the 512 Zeth Rumbiak Honorary Forum.
