JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said a series of activities to prevent the practice of racism in Papua had been carried out. They not only take action by naming three regional heads as suspects.

"In Papua, the KPK does not only take action," said Head of the News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, September 20.

There are a number of prevention efforts being made. Among other things, controlling PLN's assets in the KPK Program is clear.

Not only that, Ali said education had also been given to the people of Bumi Cendrawasih. One of them is for business actors to apply the principles of honesty and integrity.

"KPK juga hadir ke Papua melalui kegiatan koordinasi dan supervision untuk melakukan mitigasi risiko korupsi pada pengelolaan dana pariwisata. Hal ini untuk mendorong kemajuan potensi pariwisata di Papua," ujarnya.

It is hoped that with these various movements, Papua can be free from corruption. However, this step cannot be done but must be supported by all parties.

"To make it happen, the KPK certainly needs support from the Papuan people," said Ali.

As previously reported, the anti-corruption commission has named three regional heads in Papua as suspects. They are the inactive Mimika Regent Eltinus Omaleng, the inactive Central Mamberamo Regent Ricky Ham Pagawak, and Papua Governor Lukas Enembe.

Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata said that the KPK often receives complaints from the public and anti-corruption activists regarding allegations of presumptuous practices in Papua.

The KPK ensures that it will not remain silent with various reports of alleged corruption that are included in Papua. Coordination with other parties is usually carried out immediately as soon as a report comes in.
