JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has detected an attempt to borrow a company to work on a project in Papua. This allegation was investigated by representatives of PT Aiwondeni Permai, Farida Lilita Row on Monday, February 6.

Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri said Farida was examined to complete the case file belonging to the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. He became a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification.

"The witness was present and his knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the alleged loan of a witness company to be used to participate in projects in the Papua Provincial Government," Ali told reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 7.

It was not detailed who Ali was the party who borrowed the company. However, Farida's statement is believed to strengthen the accusation of other fraudulent practices by Lukas.

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.
