Those who have been examined as witnesses come from the state civil apparatus (ASN) and third parties or project implementing partners whose budgets are sourced from the capitation funds of the Babakan Health Center.

The handling of the case of alleged corruption in the capitation fund of the Babakan Health Center for the 2017-2019 period has officially moved to the investigation stage in mid-September.

For the time being, the loss from this alleged case was obtained based on the results of the investigator's independent count. The estimated value of the loss is IDR 740 million.

This potential loss to the state, explained Kadek Adi, was obtained from the results of examination of expenditure receipts, documents related to the management of capitation funds, and clarification of witnesses.

Therefore, to find out the exact potential for state losses, said Kadek Adi, investigators collaborated with the NTB Representative BPKP.

As an expert in calculating state losses, Kadek Adi assured that the results from the NTB Representative BPKP will strengthen the evidence in revealing the suspect's role.
