JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is pursuing assets belonging to the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. This step was taken by examining four witnesses on Thursday, February 2 yesterday.

Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said three witnesses were questioned at the Papua Regional Police. They are private companies named Yonater Karomba and Hendrika Josina Sartje Dina Hindom; and a notary named Herman.

Meanwhile, another witness, Commissioner of PT Bintuni Energy Persada, David Manibui was questioned at the Sukamiskin Prison, Bandung.

"The witnesses were present and their knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the alleged ownership of assets of economic value from suspect LE," Ali told reporters, Friday, February 3.

Actually, there are four other witnesses who will be examined. It's just that, said Ali, they did not answer the call.

The four witnesses are the Assistant Expenditure Treasurer of the Regional Head of Papua Province Dius Enumbi; Acting Head of Goods and Services Procurement Service (PBJ) of the Papua Province Secretariat, Debora Salossa; entrepreneur named Imelda Sun; and a private sector named Pondiron Wonda.

"The witnesses were not present and rescheduled again," he said.

Previously, Lukas was 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.
