After the Berau Regency DPRD has finished carrying out official trips and spends a budget of tens of billions of rupiah from the APBD, continued Uchok, they must be held accountable.

From the results of the CBA findings, it turns out that the Berau DPRD has submitted evidence of the accommodation budget in the form of invoices from Traveloka and billhotels. However, according to CBA, the submission of evidence without including other supporting evidence so that there are irregularities in the invoice.

Differences in hotel invoices between DPRD and native hotels are the writing of nominal and foliary numbers. Then differences in font, spatial, and thickening of writing on invoices. Furthermore, differences in the hotel logo listed on invoices," he said.
