JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) plans to ask for information from the inactive Papuan Governor Lukas Enembe, who now lives in the Pomdam Jaya Guntur branch of the KPK this week. Lukas will be questioned as witnesses and suspects in the bribery and gratification cases that ensnared him.

"Later, the investigative team will also double the investigation of the suspect LE, this week," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, January 16.

Ali has not detailed when the summons will be. However, he confirmed that investigators needed Lukas' statement to thoroughly investigate his actions and the involvement of other parties.

"Later, for the day and date, we will definitely inform our friends," he said.

Furthermore, KPK investigators will also later summon other witnesses in this bribery and gratification case. They are expected to cooperate in fulfilling the summons.

"In the future, we will continue to continue to collect and complete the evidence to continue to develop the facts we previously obtained," said Ali.

"We are examining witnesses, including today we are also examining witnesses," he continued.

Previously, Lukas was detained after he was named a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification in project procurement at the Papua Provincial Government. During his detention, he appeared to be using a wheelchair.

In this case, Lukas allegedly received money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka, so that the company would receive a project. It is suspected that this collusion was also carried out with officials in the Papua Provincial Government.

Adapun kesepakatan di antara mereka yakni pemberian fee 14 persen dari nilai kontrak. Fee harus bersih dari pengurangan pajak.

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.
