BADUNG - Lecturer of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Udayana University (Unud) I Dewa Nyoman Wiratmaja has been named a corruption suspect by the KPK. Wiratmaja is a suspect along with the former Regent of Tabanan, Ni Putu Eka Wiryastuti.

"We are very concerned, hopefully those involved can undergo the legal process according to the provisions. We continue to apply the presumption of innocence," said Udayana University Spokesperson (Unud) Putu Ayu Asty Senja Pratiwi, Friday, March 25.

Regarding the detention of I Dewa Nyoman Wiratmaja, Unud will find a replacement to teach students so that the learning process is not disrupted.

"For the time being, because the person concerned is unable to carry out his duties. We will find a replacement from the teaching team in the subjects being taught. This is very important so that students are not disadvantaged and the lecture process can still run smoothly," he said.

"I urge the lecturers who will be tasked with helping the community and certain institutions outside the campus, to take care of the superior's permission first as stipulated by the regulations at Unud," continued Pratiwi.

The KPK said that this case began when Eka, who was regent for the 2010-2015 and 2016-2021 periods, appointed Nyoman as a special staff in the field of economy and development.

Furthermore, Eka took the initiative to apply for a Regional Incentive Fund from the central government worth Rp65 billion.

"To realize his wish, the NPEW suspect ordered the IDNW suspect to prepare all the administrative completeness of the DID application and meet and communicate with several parties who can smooth the proposal," said KPK Deputy Chair Lili Pintauli Siregar.

The parties that Nyoman later met were Yaya Purnomo and Rifa Surya. Both of them are suspected of having the authority and being able to oversee the DID proposal for Tabanan Regency in 2018.

From that meeting, Yaya and Rifa then put forward special conditions. One of them is by asking for a fee or the so-called custom fund which is then passed on to Eka.

Eka, who received the information, agreed to give the fee. "The fee value determined by Yaya Purnomo and the suspect in the hospital is estimated to be 2.5 percent of the allocation of DID funds which will later be obtained by Tabanan Regency," explained Lili.

The money given by Nyoman in Jakarta was carried out in stages in August and December 2017. The money given by Eka through Nyoman reached Rp600 million and US$55,300.

For their actions, Eka and Nyoman as givers were suspected of violating Article 5 paragraph 1 letter a or letter b or Article 13 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes Jo Article 55 paragraph ( 1) 1st Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.

Meanwhile, Rifa Surya as the recipient was suspected of violating Article 12 letter a or Article 11 of Law Number 31 of 1999 as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code Jo Article 64 paragraph (1) Criminal Code.
