JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned the wife of the Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe, Yulce Wenda. Investigators will ask for information regarding the alleged bribery and gratuities that ensnared her husband today, Wednesday, January 18.

"The investigation was carried out at the Corruption Eradication Commission's Red and White Building," said the Head of the KPK's Reporting Section, Ali Fikri, to journalists, Wednesday, January 18.

Apart from his wife, Lukas' child named Astract Bona Timoramo Enembe and private party Yonater Karomba were also summoned by investigators. Currently, Yulce and Astract have fulfilled the summons and are undergoing examination.

Ali has not specified what investigators will investigate from Lukas' wife and children, as well as other witnesses. However, they are suspected of knowing about the impudent practice of the number one person in Papua.

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

In this case, it is suspected that Lukas received money from the director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka, so that the company could get the project. It is suspected that this collusion was also carried out by officials in the Papua Provincial Government.

The agreement between them is to provide a fee of 14 percent of the contract value. Fees must be net of tax deductions.

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

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

After the project was won, Rijantono handed over IDR 1 billion to Lukas. In addition, Lukas is also suspected of receiving gratuities of up to billions of rupiah.
