JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed that price inflations or mark-ups are often carried out by local governments. In fact, the procurement of grave land is not protected from fraudulent practices.

This was conveyed by the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Nurul Ghufron, when opening the National Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) for the 2024 Regional Property Management Index at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta. He initially alluded to the procurement planning in vulnerable areas with corrupt practices.

"Sorry, we convey that the vulnerability is planning not as needed," said Ghufron in front of central and regional stakeholders, Wednesday, June 3.

Ghufron said this planning tends to be corrupted, especially if the process turns out to be followed by a partner of regional heads who helps in the nomination process. First, it's. Both mark up prices in the planning session," he said.

He then said that there had been findings that his institution had obtained about the burial ground being corrupted during the procurement process. Ghufron said, this incident occurred in a district in Sumatra and made him unable to understand.

"I don't know if there is a regional secretary or BKAD present this morning. The procurement, procurement of burial land. Land for graves, sir, the name of the grave for the dead project is still being corrupted, sir," he explained.

Ghufron said the land acquisition was then in vain. Because the grave cannot be used.

"The land is tilted, it can't be used for graves, the price is mark up, sir. Held to finish but it's not effective. But what? Forced to then hold a burial ground in that place because the owner has an interest in the regent," he said.

Ghufron hopes that this kind of incident will no longer happen. "Don't let the action be called," he concluded.
