BENGKULU - Investigator of the Mukomuko District Attorney's Office, Bengkulu, examined two civil servants of the Bengkulu Provincial Religious Court related to the alleged corruption case in the construction of the local Religious Court building.

The Mukomuko District Attorney conducted an examination of the two employees of the Religious Court to follow up on reports of alleged corruption in the construction of the Religious Court building which terminated the work contract of the Mukomuko Government Policy and Justice Guard Institute (LP KPK).

The examination of these two Religious Court employees is to look for criminal events whether there is a potential for alleged state losses or not.

After this, he said, the prosecutor's office would bring in a team of experts from Bengkulu City to conduct physical checks on the construction project for the Religious Court (PA) building construction project.

"In the near future we will bring in experts from Bengkulu to check the work because it is related to technical work," he said.

Checking the physical work of the Religious Court building project, he said, was to match the results of checking the Supreme Audit Agency (BPKP) with a team of experts from the agency.

"We know that the construction project work for the Religious Court building has been terminated. Do contractors accept payments in accordance with the existing physical work," he said.
