JAYAPURA - The Papuan High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati) has named two former officials in the Nabire branch of Perum Bulog as suspects in a fictitious rice procurement case.

Two former officials who became suspects were RA, the former Head of Logistics Section of Bulog Nabire who served from January 2017 to March 2018 and LA, former Acting Head of Warehouse for the February-August 2017 period who was later appointed as Head of Bulog Nabire's warehouse for the January-March 2018 period.

The head of the Papuan High Prosecutor's Office, Nikolaus Kondomo, said that the two suspects were suspected of buying fictitious rice so that the state lost around Rp.10.889 billion.

The mode used is data manipulation, namely the rice entered warehouse document (GD1M) and receipts for rice purchases from fictitious farmers, as if the rice had entered the warehouse during the 2017-2018 period.

As a result, 1,028,690 kg of rice lost, said Nikolaus who was accompanied by Aspidsus Aleksander Sinuraya.

The Acting Head of the Papua and West Papua Regional Logistics Agency (Bulog), Muhammad Aleksander, separately admitted that both had been fired as employees of Perum Bulog.

This case began with a report to the prosecutor's office where the case was followed up to the legal process, because internally both of them had been given sanctions, namely dishonorably dismissed and asked to compensate for the loss.

"It is hoped that the legal process will later be able to return the state losses incurred by both of them by returning their assets to Bulog," hoped Aleksander.
