Currently, the Attorney General's Office has not named a suspect. Investigators are still examining a number of witnesses, as well as collecting evidence. Including waiting for the calculation of the possibility of state losses by related parties.

Meanwhile, Aspidsus Nurhadi Puspandoyo explained, his party is still investigating the alleged state loss in the construction activities of the Kaltara BPSDM worth Rp. 8 billion which was carried out with three stages of development starting from knowing 2021 to 2023. Meanwhile, the eight witnesses who have been examined are commitment-making officials (PPK) with the initials RA.

"We have not named a suspect, hopefully we will determine in the near future, it is not yet known who of the 8 witnesses who were questioned whether they have the potential to become suspects," he explained.

Nurhadi revealed that the construction of the BPSDM building for Kaltara Province in Tanjung Selor did not work according to specifications so that it could potentially cause state losses.

"The Kaltara Prosecutor's Office will ask for help from auditors who are authorized to calculate the amount of state losses. The Prosecutor's Office has also asked for expert opinion, and has believed in a criminal act, then collected sufficient evidence, and ultimately increased it to the investigation stage," he said.
