JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that Papua Governor Lukas Enembe received gratuities in the form of money. This gift was given so that he would grant project permits in the Papua region.

"Based on preliminary evidence, so far it has amounted to around Rp. 10 billion," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital, Central Jakarta, Wednesday, January 11.

Firli did not specify who gave the gratuities. However, he said there were 76 witnesses who had been examined.

In addition, there was a search carried out by investigators in Papua, Jakarta, Sukabumi, Bogor, and Tangerang. The goal is to find evidence for the receipt of bribes and gratuities by Lukas.

Previously, Lukas Enembe had been officially announced as a suspect by the KPK on Thursday, January 5. The announcement was made at the same time as the determination and detention of the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua Rijantono Lakka.

Even so, after being arrested in Jayapura, Lukas was not immediately detained. He was examined first at the Gatot Soebroto Army Hospital and then sent home until the doctor declared Lukas healthy.

In this case, it is suspected that Rijantono could get a project because he colluded with several officials and Lukas Enembe before the project auction started. Communication is believed to be accompanied by the provision of bribes.

The agreement in the partnership between Rijantono, Lukas and other officials in Papua is to provide a fee of 14 percent of the contract value. Fee must be free from tax reduction.

At least, there are three projects that Rijantono got for this evil consensus. The first is the improvement of the Entro-Hamadi Road with a project value of Rp. 14.8 billion.

Rehabilitation of facilities and infrastructure supporting PAUD Integration with a project value of IDR 13.3 billion. Finally, the venue environmental planning project developed outdoor AURI with a project value of IDR 12.9 billion.

After the project was won, Rijantono handed over Rp1 billion to Lukas. In addition, Lukas is also suspected of receiving gratuities of up to billions of rupiah.
