"There is information that village operators are also part of the process of inputting SPM and so on. This is being worked out with the Inspectorate," said Sigit when met at the Grand Cempaka Resort and Convention, Jalan Raya Puncak, Bogor, Wednesday, November 3.

Because of that, Sigit has ordered the Jakarta Inspectorate to dig into as much detail as possible about the borrowing case that led to the alleged embezzlement of the residents' money.

"So, we are trying to explore all parties who say they have a role in the incident, including how this is a mitigation so it doesn't happen again in other areas," said Sigit.

Sigit admitted that this case had also been discussed at Commission A of the DKI DPRD. The DPRD requested the inspection of the inspectorate to be completed by mid-November 2021.

For information, a resident of Cibodas Subdistrict, Tangerang City named Sandra Komala Dewi reported Duri Kepa Village Head, Marhali to the Tangerang City Metro Police on suspicion of fraud and embezzlement of money.

In this case, Kelurahan Duri Kepa borrowed money from Sandra amounting to Rp264.5 million and has not been returned until now. Sandra did not accept that she finally reported to the police.

Initially, the treasurer of Duri Kepa Village, Devi Ambarsari contacted him, claiming that the subdistrict needed money to pay the RT/RW honorarium and village debts.

Then in May and June 2021, Sandra sent money to the accounts of RT/RW, as well as the accounts of Kelurahan Duri Kepa in stages with a total of IDR 264.5 million.

In the agreement, every refund paid by Duri Kepa Village will be added a fee of 10 percent of the nominal money deposited.

However, so far this debt has not been repaid. Finally, on October 25, 2021, Sandra reported Lurah Duri Kepa Marhali on suspicion of fraud and embezzlement of money.

In the aftermath of this case, Duri Kepa Village Head, Marhali and Duri Kepa Village Treasurer Devi Ambasari were dismissed from their positions. Although released from duty, both are still civil servants (PNS).

The deactivation refers to Government Regulation Number 53 of 2010 concerning Civil Servant Discipline.
