"So, based on this report, the team has now handled the investigation stage," said Head of Public Relations of the NTB Polda Kombes Pol Artanto in Mataram, NTB, Thursday, July 21.

In a series of investigations, a team from the Corruption Crime Sub-Sector (Tipikor) of the Special Criminal Investigation Directorate (Ditreskrimsus) of the NTB Police has scheduled a request for clarification to related parties, including the reporter.

"As a first step, we invite the reporter to validate the report as well as check the completeness of the documents," he said.

These three physical projects are sourced from the Dompu Regency APBD. Project work is under the responsibility of the Dompu Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency (PUPR).

The first project is related to the construction of the Kandai II-Kandai I Bridge which will be carried out in 2021 by a company from the City of Mataram, PT Permata Hijau Barujari, with a contract value of IDR 10.36 billion.

Second, the construction project of the Karijawa-Kandai I Bridge in 2022. The project was carried out by CV Samas from Mataram City with a contract value of Rp. 8.64 billion.

Finally, he said, the irrigation area rehabilitation project in Enca, Malaju Village, Kilo District, Dompu Regency in 2021. The project was carried out by CV Restu Bunda from North Rabangodu, Bima City with a contract value of Rp936 million.

Regarding the three physical projects, the Head of the Dompu Regency PUPR Office, Aris Ansyari, said that his party only knew about the construction work of the Karijawa-Kandai I Bridge in 2022.

"In 2021 I have not served (Head of PUPR Dompu), so what I know is that the project will be in 2022," said Aris.

The physical project that will run in 2022 is the Kariwa-Kandai I Bridge construction project. Related to that, Aris said that the project is still in progress.

"The Karijawa-Kandai I Bridge is being worked on, it's just the foundation part, so the progress has not yet reached 20 percent," he said.
