JAKARTA - The Anti-Corruption Civil Society Coalition reported allegations of corruption in the implementation of a retret or regional head in Magelang, Central Java some time ago. They highlighted the implementation of activities that did not have a regulatory basis but were made mandatory.
"Our assumption is that the process of coaching and training of regional heads is not in accordance with the provisions of the basic laws and regional government laws," said the reporter who is also a constitutional law expert, Feri Amsari at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, February 28.
In addition, Feri also highlighted the appointment of PT Lembah Tidar in the recruitment. He mentioned that this company was actually managed by Gerindra Party cadres who were still actively involved in politics.
"At that point alone, there are actually conflicts of interest and the process of procuring goods and training services that also do not follow certain standards for the procurement of goods and services that actually have to be done openly. That's the initial picture," he said.
Similarly, researcher from the Indonesian Legal Aid and Human Rights Association (PBHI) Annisa Azahra suspects that there is a conflict of interest in the implementation of the retreat. This is because the local government was asked to hand over some money to the account of PT Lembah Tidar which was later canceled.
This coalition also reports that there is no transparency in the implementation of the retreat. "The place of implementation also turns out that there is no evidence that they have gone through a legitimate process to be implementing it," said Annisa.
It didn't stop there, Annisa also mentioned that the government was throwing away the budget in the implementation of the retreat. In fact, there was an instruction from President Prabowo Subianto to make maximum budget efficiency.
"An budget of Rp. 11 billion was issued for this retreat, in the midst of us having budget efficiency and also various ministries, institutions must be in trouble at this time, right," he concluded.
