14 Heads Of Public Health Centers In Bintan Return Rp504 Million Corruption Money From COVID-19 Funds

BINTAN - As many as 14 heads of public health centers in Bintan Regency, Riau Islands (Kepri), returned money on suspicion of corruption withholding the incentive fund for COVID-19 individual health workers worth Rp504 million to the Bintan Kejari.

"That's right, they have returned them simultaneously on December 30, 2021," said the Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Bintan Kejari, Fajrian Yustiardi, quoted by Antara, Monday, January 3.

However, his party is still synchronizing the amount of state losses that have been returned by the heads of the puskesmas with data on the COVID-19 health worker incentive fund in Bintan Regency for the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year.

Fajrian explained that the return of state losses followed the appointment of the Head of the Sei Lekop Health Center, Zailendra Permana, as a suspect in the alleged corruption of the COVID-19 health worker incentive fund on December 9, 2021.

The suspect, Zailendra, has also returned state losses of Rp. 100 million from the total state losses of around Rp. 400 million.

Thus, he said, the total state losses that the Bintan Kejari had successfully recovered were around Rp600 million.

"The money is then deposited into the regional treasury through Bank Riau Kepri to be included in the Bintan Regency APBD," said Fajrian.

The following are the details of 14 health centers that have returned state losses to the Bintan Kejari, including Kijang Health Center for Rp. 60 million, Teluk Sebong Health Center for 60 million, Teluk Sasah Health Center for 50 million, Tanjung Uban Health Center for 69 million, and Kawal Health Center for 71 million.

Then the Toapaya Health Center Rp. 32 million, the Tambelan Health Center Rp. 36 million, the Kuala Sempang Health Center Rp. 32 million, the Sri Bintan Health Center Rp. 13 million, the Teluk Bintan Health Center Rp. 17 million, the Berakit Health Center Rp. 31 million, the Mantang Health Center Rp. 14 million, the Numbing Health Center Rp. million.
