Chairman of the East Kotawaringin Regency DPRD Rinie Anderson and the local Regional Secretary (Sekda) Fajrurrahman were questioned by investigators from the Central Kalimantan High Prosecutor's Office (Kejati). Both were examined as witnesses in the alleged corruption case of grant funds from the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) for the 2021-2023 budget. "I was examined by the Central Kalimantan Attorney General's Office as a witness in the case of grant funds from the Kotim Regional Budget, so we will just process it," said Rinie after being questioned at the Central Kalimantan Prosecutor's Office, Tuesday, June 4, which was confiscated by Antara. The chairman of the East Kotim DPRD was examined starting at 12.30 WIB and finished being examined at around 15.00 WIB. This means that for more than two hours the local Attorney General's Office investigators have examined it. When asked questions by a number of media crews, Rinie Anderson said that what was asked was about his responsibility as Chairman of the East Kotim DPRD. "What is asked is only about my responsibility, then the policy is of course the APBD is an agreement," he said. In addition to the Chairman of the East Kotim DPRD, the local Secretary was also examined as a witness by investigators for approximately three hours. Even Fajrurrahman, after leaving the local Prosecutor's Office building, was quite efficient in issuing a statement to the media crew regarding him being examined as a witness. Even the Kotim Regional Secretary admitted that he was very cooperative with the ongoing legal process. "We are certainly very cooperative with the applicable legal process," he said. In fact, he also added that many sports administrators were staffed at the Kotim Regency Government who were also questioned regarding the alleged corruption case of KONI Kotim grant funds. "So there are our friends whose status is ASN holding sports and being asked for information, so it is not related to the position of ASN being examined but as the person in charge of the sport," said Fajrurahman. Previously, the Central Kalimantan Prosecutor's Office named two suspects in the alleged corruption case of KONI grant funds for Kotim Regency for the 2021-2023 fiscal year. The two suspects are the Chairman of KONI Kotim Regency with the initials AU and the Treasurer of KONI Kotim BP. The Assistant for Special Crimes (Aspidsus) of the Central Kalimantan Prosecutor's Office, Douglas Pamino Nainggolan in Palangka Raya, Friday, May 31, 2024, said the reasons for determining the two suspects were in accordance with legal provisions. "Even found criminal incidents including two sufficient pieces of evidence and beliefs from investigators," said Douglas Pamino Nainggolan.
