JAKARTA - Perum Bulog respects and fully supports the legal process currently being carried out by the Papua High Prosecutor's Office regarding the handling of alleged criminal acts of corruption in the distribution of Government Rice Reserves (CBP) in the Wamena region in the 2020-2023 period.
Regional Head of Perum Bulog Kanwil Papua Ahmad Mustari said his party was committed to providing the necessary support in the investigation process to ensure that law enforcement was carried out objectively and professionally.
"Perum Bulog respects all legal processes that are currently underway and leaves the handling of this case entirely to law enforcement," said Mustari, quoting Antara.
As a company that upholds the principles of good corporate governance (Good Corporate Governance), transparency, and accountability, Bulog respects the authority of law enforcement officials in thoroughly investigating this case in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
"We support law enforcement efforts as part of a joint commitment to realizing good, transparent, and accountable governance," he said.
Bulog also emphasized that the case being handled was a suspected act of an individual that occurred in the past six years and did not reflect the commitment and integrity of all people of the food SOEs in carrying out public service duties and government assignments in the food sector.
In line with efforts to strengthen governance, Bulog continues to take various steps to improve internal control systems, increase compliance with operational procedures, and strengthen risk management across all organizational lines to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents in the future.
Currently, Bulog's operations in the Papua and Papua Highlands regions are still running normally.
The distribution of government rice reserves, the Food Supply and Price Stabilization Program (SPHP), and various other government assignments are still being carried out optimally to maintain food security and price stability for the community.
"We ensure that all Bulog public services and assignments continue to run well. Our main focus is to maintain food availability and provide the best service to the community in accordance with the government's mandate," he added.
Perum Bulog invites all parties to respect the ongoing legal process and prioritize the principle of presumption of innocence until there is a final court decision.
