The prosecutor will summon Sukirman Ahmady, a witness in the corruption case in the Mantun Village-Owned Enterprise (Bumdes) capital investment case, Maluk District, Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Sukirman as the Village Secretary (Sekdes) Mantun has been absent twice as a witness in the trial with the defendant Sahril. The trial was held at the Mataram Corruption Court (PN).

"Because we have summoned him twice, but he has not attended. Therefore, we will summon him (Sukirman)," said Irwan who was met after the trial, Monday, November 28, which was confiscated by Antara.

According to him, Sukirman's role in this case is very important. Because from a number of witness statements that have been present at the trial, he explained, Sukirman's name always appears.

"Because he (Sukirman) as the village secretary, manages all financial reports in the village. So, his role is important in this case," he said.

The case, which came from the results of the investigation by the West Sumbawa Kejari, relates to state losses that arise in the investment of the Mantun Bumdes capital. The value of the loss reached at least Rp515 million.

In the indictment, the value of the loss arises from accountability reports that are not in accordance with the realization of Bumdes Mantun's capital participation in 2019-2020.

In addition, losses were also recorded from a number of physical projects in Mantun Village that did not meet specifications. This is based on the testimony of construction experts who stated that there was a shortage of work volume.

As a defendant, Sahril, who is a former Mantun Village Head, was charged with Article 2 paragraph (1) and/or Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001 jo. article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
