JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned the chairman of the Papuan People's Assembly Timothy Murib today, Monday, February 20. He will be questioned in the case of alleged bribery and gratification that ensnared the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe. "The investigation was carried out at the KPK Office," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Monday, February 20. In addition, there were four other witnesses who were summoned by the KPK to investigate Lukas' actions. They are housewives Heni Nurhaeni, wife of Yonater Karoba, Dani Fitri Yelepele, Commissioner Austikarini Ambar Wati and housewife Dessy Irriani Yelepele. They are expected to cooperate in fulfilling the investigator's summons. Their information is needed to shed light on the case that ensnared Lukas. As previously reported, Lukas was named 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.
