JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) ensures that each detainee will pay attention to his health, including the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. Thus, there is no reason for the alleged bribery and gratification suspect to avoid being investigated by investigators. "For health matters, we really pay attention to KPK detainees," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, January 25. Instead of continuing to talk about Lukas' health, the KPK asked all parties to focus on the ongoing legal process. This warning was also conveyed to the team of lawyers for the number one person in Papua. Instead of defending with various excuses, lawyers should still follow the applicable legal mechanism. In fact, said Ali, they should remind Lukas to be cooperative in front of investigators. "Legal advisors should focus on their defense," he said. "Tell the client that the suspect is cooperative so that the entire process of handling this case runs smoothly," continued Ali. Lukas Enembe's team of lawyers often talks about the health of his client. In fact, when Lukas was delivered some time ago, they said the suspect's condition of alleged bribery and gratification had decreased. Responding to the statement, the KPK later said that Lukas was taken away because he needed monitoring from doctors. They denied there was a problem because the inactive governor was able to carry out ordinary activities such as eating and walking. As previously reported, Lukas Enembe is now a KPK prisoner for alleged bribery and gratification related to project work at the Papua Provincial Government. He is suspected of receiving money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka, so that the company can get a job. The KPK suspects that Lukas is not alone in accepting bribes and gratuities. Investigators are still investigating who else the official involved in the conspiracy. Called the KPK, there is an agreement to provide a fee of 14 percent of the contract value. Fee must be free from tax reduction. From there, Rijantono's company got three projects. The first is the improvement of the Entropy-Hamadi Road with a project value of IDR 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 tens of billions that have just been investigated by the KPK.
