JAKARTA - Papua's inactive Governor Lukas Enembe wrote to the Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Firli Bahuri. He asked for an appointment through his handwriting.

"Yes (sending a letter, red). Mr. Lukas himself wrote it," said lawyer Lukas Enembe when confirmed in Jakarta, Wednesday, February 1.

Petrus said the letter was received by the legal team on Tuesday, January 31.

"The point is to collect Mr. Firli's promise," he said quoting Lukas' writing.

It was not specified what promise. However, Petrus confirmed that the letter had been submitted to the KPK.

Meanwhile, KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said he did not know about the letter. He admitted that he would check the correspondence section.

"We will first check in (parts, red) of the KPK's correspondence," said Ali.

Lukas is a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification for allegedly receiving money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka. The gift was made so that the private company got a project in Papua.

The KPK said that there was a 14 percent agreement on the value of the contract and payments must be free of tax deductions.

After agreeing, Rijantono's company got three projects. The first is the improvement of Jalan Entrop-Hamadi 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.

Apart from Lukas, the KPK suspects that there are officials who play in accepting bribes and gratuities. However, investigators are still investigating.
