PAPUA - The Papua High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) is currently raising the status of alleged corruption in Bulog Wamena, Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Mountains from investigation to investigation stage.
Aspidsus Kejati Papua Nixon Mahuse said the investigation was related to the alleged corruption case in the sale of rice from the sale of government rice reserves (CBP) through the supply availability program and stabilization of medium rice prices (KPSH BM) for supply stability and food prices (SPHP).
"The case that was investigated was related to rice related to the supply stability program and food prices (SPHP) for the period 2020-2023 which was purchased from the Bulog Wamena Office, Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Mountains and then sold to the public for Rp. 20,000/kilograms," he said in Jayapura, Wednesday, July 9, confiscated by Antara.
It is said that the case began with an investigation conducted in 2024 due to a difference in the selling price of SPHP rice.
From the report from the Jayawijaya Regency Trade Office, it was revealed that in 2020-2023 the price of Bulog rice was sold to consumers for IDR 20,000/kilograms.
