JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) together with the National Corruption Prevention Strategic Team (Stranas PK) found a number of problems related to the distribution of grant funds to community groups (pokmas) from the East Java Provincial Government Budget.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said this finding was obtained when his party investigated allegations of corruption related to the grant funds. One of the facts in the field that was found was that the beneficiary community group had just been formed.
"KPK through the coordination and supervision tasks of the East Java region together with the Stranas PK Team this week conducted initial identification of problems related to potential corruption in the distribution of the grant funds," Budi said in a written statement quoted on Thursday, May 29.
"Among them are the criteria for recipients of grants that are not adequate. This is evidenced by the community group that was formed when there was a plan to shop for grants," he continued.
Not only that, Budi also said that the accounts used by the community groups had only been opened and disbursed in the same year. After disbursement, there were no other activities.
"Then an account with the same signature specimen was found, such as the chairman or treasurer in a different group of grant recipients," he said.
Apart from the recipients, the KPK and Stranas PK also highlighted the unclear portion of the grant budget. "Then there is no platform to filter grant recipients so as not to overlap between districts, cities, provinces and the center," explained Budi.
Budi said there was no single data regarding the group of people receiving grant funds such as Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS).
"So there is the potential for overlap," he said.
These various conditions have been conveyed by the KPK to the Secretary of the DPRD (Sekwan) of East Java Province. This step is carried out as well as coordinating gratification control carried out through the Directorate of Gratification.
"The Secretary welcomes and is committed to following up. The Secretary also asked for further assistance and socialization from the KPK," explained Budi.
