JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still investigating allegations of corruption in the work on the backfit of the Bukit Asam PLTU PT PLN (Persero) in the main building unit of South Sumatra in 2017-2022. There are allegations that this project has harmed state finances.

"Meanwhile (the loss of the country, ed) tens of billions," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters quoted on Friday, March 22.

Ali has not yet detailed the nominal loss to the country because the calculation process is still being carried out. Meanwhile, the value of the power plant replacement project reached tens of billions.

"(The value of the project, red) is Rp. 70 billion," he said.

Previously reported, the anti-corruption commission is investigating allegations of corruption in the backfit work of the sootblowing system at the Bukit Asam PLTU. This project is a replacement process for spare parts that aims to produce steam.

There are allegations that there has been an engineering of the value of the procurement budget, including the winner of the auction. As a result, the state then lost billions of rupiah due to this fraudulent practice.
