JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) admits that it can report several regions outsmarting the procurement process through e-catalog. Deputy Chairman of the KPK Alexander Marwata is confused by these conditions. "I don't know if this is to outsmart the process or the system seems easy," Alexander said in his remarks while attending the National Coordination Meeting on Prevention of Goods and Services at the KPK Juang Building, Wednesday, March 6. Alexander said there were a number of corruption cases in the procurement of goods and services that he had handled, one of which was the Regent of Meranti M. Adil. That's corruption in the procurement related to Umrah travel. Starting from planning, uploading price offers in the e-catalog process and execution of goods procurement and services very quickly, "he said. This condition is an example of how the e-catalog process turns out to be multiplyed and there are a number of regions that do it, continued Alexander. In a way between the provider of goods and services and those in need first agreed,'' he explained. The vendors have goods for example shoes, they agreed with those in need of goods and when the price was agreed that the vendor had already agreed to enter the e-catalog and on the same day it was executed immediately, "continued Alexander. After the transaction, the goods in question would be declared sold out even no longer in e-catalog. This agreement is usually accompanied by the provision of fees.

"The incident found by the KPK and other law enforcement officers has become commonplace. Project fees between 5-15 percent are common," Alexander said. Alexander said. Alexander said that employees in local governments do not know about this kind of practice. "But often what you face is when dealing with partners who are close to the center of power and in the area close to the regional head," he concluded.
