JAKARTA - The Papuan Democratic Party's management, Yohana Delflata, was absent from the investigators' summons on Monday, June 12 yesterday. Yohana will be questioned regarding the alleged bribery, gratuities, and money laundering that ensnared the inactive Central Mamberamo Regent Ricky Ham Pagawak. "It has been legally summoned but the witness was not present without confirmation," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, June 13. The KPK reminded Yohyama to be cooperative. His statement was needed to investigate Ricky's abusive practices. "We remind you that witnesses are present at the next summons because witness statements are needed to be confirmed on the alleged flow of money from the suspect RHP," he said. As previously reported, Ricky has officially been a detainee for the Red and White branch of the KPK Detention Center since Monday, February 20. He is a suspect in alleged bribery, gratification, and alleged money laundering. In this case, Ricky is suspected of receiving bribes and gratuities of up to Rp200 billion. This acceptance was made from contractors who wanted to get projects in Central Mamberamo Regency. There are three contractors who are said to have given money, namely the Director of PT Solata Sukses Bangun, Marten Toding; President Director of PT Bina Karya Raya, Simon Mampang; and Director of PT Bumi Abadi Perkasa Jusiendra Pribadi Pampang. In detail, Jusiendra got 18 work packages with a total value of Rp. 217.7 billion. The projects built include the construction of student dormitories in Jayapura. While Simon got six packages worth Rp179.4 billion and Marten got three work packages with a value of Rp9.4 billion. This work was obtained by the three private sector after they agreed with Ricky to give money.

From the money he got, Ricky was then suspected of laundering money by spending to disguise the results of the bribes and gratuities he received.
