NTB Police Will Hold Cases Of 2 Corruption Cases That Get KPK's Attention

MATARAM - The West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (Polda NTB) has scheduled the title of two corruption cases that have attracted the attention of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

The Director of Special Criminal Investigation (Dirreskrimsus) of the NTB Polda Kombes I Gusti Putu Gede Ekawana revealed that the two cases were corruption in the procurement of Teaching and Learning Aids (ABBM) at the Mataram Health Polytechnic (Poltekkes) and the procurement of marching band equipment.

"We will schedule two cases for Monday (7/2)," said Ekawana, quoted by Antara, Saturday, March 5.

The purpose of the title case is to see the progress of the development of the handling of the two cases that have been in the investigation stage for a long time.

"So we plan to hold a normal title. See how far the progress is," he said.

However, Ekawana emphasized that it is possible that in the case title the role of the suspect will be revealed, considering that everything depends on the investigator's explanation regarding the evidence that has been bagged.

"So later I want to see what the investigator's presentation looks like," he said.

The KPK paid attention to these two cases based on the results of coordination and supervision activities in mid-January at the NTB Regional Police. The KPK pays attention because the two cases have been struggling with state losses for a long time.

However, for the progress of the losses, the KPK has received a direct explanation from the NTB Representative for the Finance and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP).

In the case of corruption in the procurement of marching bands, the KPK concludes that the progress is just waiting for a common perception between police investigators and research prosecutors.

As for the corruption case in the procurement of ABBM Poltekkes Mataram, which cost the Indonesian Ministry of Health a budget of Rp. 19 billion, it is still in the stage of coordinating complementary data in calculating state losses.
