The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to summon West Kalimantan Governor Ria Norsan regarding the alleged corruption of a road construction project in Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan.

Acting (Plt) Deputy for Enforcement and Execution of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu said this summons was a follow-up to searches in a number of locations, including Ria Norsan's house. However, investigators need to first study the findings of these forced attempts.

"Then the house of Mr. Gub (Governor of West Kalimantan Ria Norsan) has been searched. That's right. When will the search be carried out? We will study this first," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, October 1.

Asep said the results of this search would be the investigator's weapon when examining Ria Norsan. However, he did not specify what the findings were.

"After studying, of course it will be material for us to ask later, yes, regarding what we will ask the Governor," he said.

Similarly, KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo also talked about the results of the search at Ria Norsan's private house, the official residence of the Governor of West Kalimantan, and the official residence of the Mempawah Regent.

"Currently we have not been able to convey in detail the items that were secured and confiscated," Budi told reporters, September 29.

Budi only explained that all the evidence found would be analyzed. "To help reveal so that this case becomes clear," he said.

As previously reported, the KPK searched a number of locations to look for evidence of alleged corruption in West Kalimantan Province on Sunday, April 27. The exact position is reported in Mempawah Regency.

In addition, forced efforts were also carried out in the Sanggau and Pontianak areas with a total of 16 locations. Investigators then found electronic evidence and a number of documents related to alleged corruption at the Mempawah District Public Works (PU) Office.

Later, the KPK said that this search was to find evidence of alleged corruption which was investigated using a new investigation letter (sprindik). It is suspected that there were allegations related to the increase in Sekabuk-Sei Sederam Road and the work of improving the Jalan Sekit Rama-Sei Semeram at the Public Works Office of Mempawah Regency for the 2015 Fiscal Year.

There are three suspects who have been named who have not been officially announced by the KPK. However, from the information gathered they are Abdurahman as a civil servant; Lutfi Kaharuddin who is an entrepreneur or President Director of PT Aditama Borneo Prima; and Idy Safriadi as a civil servant of Mempawah Regency.

The three of them are suspected of having caused the state to lose up to Rp40 billion. This amount is said to be changing because the calculation is still being carried out.
