The investigation into the alleged Papua Special Autonomy Fund (Otsus) was misappropriated by the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe is now the focus of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Investigators continue to search for evidence.

"We will collect supporting information immediately," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, February 21.

Ali ensured that the KPK paid attention to the alleged misappropriation of the special autonomy funds carried out by Lukas. Development of fraudulent practices other than bribes and gratuities will continue to be carried out.

"We ensure that the KPK is concerned about deepening information regarding this matter," he said.

Previously, the KPK from the start had initial information about the fraudulent practice carried out by Lukas. However, they focused first on investigating allegations of bribery and gratification due to limited detention time.

In the bribery and gratification case, Lukas is said to have received 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 suspects that there is an agreement fee of 14 percent of the contract value 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.
