The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked Muhammad Ridwan Ruikutun who was appointed as the Daily Executive (Plh) of the Governor of Papua to make improvements. Do not let the practice of corruption in the Lukas Enembe era happen again.

"Do a study, review the entire existing system. Make improvements so that corruption does not occur," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri to VOI, Thursday, January 12.

In addition, Ridwan, who previously served as the Regional Secretary of the Papua Provincial Government, was also asked to build good governance there. The existing budget must be used for the benefit of the community.

"Build governance, anti-corruption budgets. Intention to serve the people," he said.

Lukas Enembe was previously named a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification. He was later arrested in Jayapura on Tuesday, January 10.

Furthermore, the government appointed Ridwan Ruikutun as Acting Governor of Papua based on the Decree of the Minister of Home Affairs (Mendagri) Number 100/326/184/SJ. This letter was signed on Wednesday, January 11 yesterday.

After being appointed, Ridwan ensured that the Papua Provincial government service would run normally without any problems. Infrastructure development is ensured to run as usual.

"I have been conveyed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, through the Directorate General of Regional Autonomy, online or via WhatsApp. However, the Assistant General for the Papua Regional Secretariat, Derek Hegamur, will take the physical (SK)", said Ridwan Ruikutun in Jayapura, Papua, quoted from Antara, Thursday, January 12.

In the bribery and gratification case, Lukas allegedly received money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka. This gift is suspected so that the private sector can get a project in Papua.

Apart from Lukas, it is suspected that this collusion was also carried out with officials in the Papua Provincial Government. The agreement between them 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.
