KUPANG - The East Nusa Tenggara High Prosecutor's Office revealed a corruption case in the 2012 Budget Year housing construction project for low-income people (MBR) in Kupang Regency.

"The NTT High Prosecutor's Office found that there was an unlawful act in the construction project of a low-income house worth IDR 2 billion for the 2021 Fiscal Year in Kupang Regency," said Head of the Legal Information and Public Relations Section of the NTT High Prosecutor's Office, Abdul Hakim, to reporters in Kupang, Wednesday, January 5.

He explained that the housing construction project for underprivileged residents was carried out by the Ministry of Public Housing in the Satker for Providing Housing for Low-Income Communities (MBR) Resident Directive in NTT Province in 2012.

Based on the results of the case conducted by the NTT Prosecutor's Office investigators, it was revealed that there was a criminal act of bribery to facilitate the construction of houses for underprivileged residents in Kupang Regency.

"Based on the results of the case title, this case has been upgraded from an investigation to an investigation because there are elements against the law," he said.
