JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) revealed the total value of the presidential social assistance project (bansos), which in the end was corrupted to hundreds of billions of rupiah. The procurement consists of three stages.

"For the contract value itself, the total is around Rp900 billion for three stages, yes, that's about it," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika to reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, July 3.

Tessa detailed that the stages of procuring the corrupted presidential social assistance were stages 3, 5, and 6. However, investigators could follow up if there were new findings.

"If we find evidence to other stages, later we will follow up," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

Previously reported, the KPK revealed that it was investigating allegations of corruption in the procurement of presidential social assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic which was distributed in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi (Jabodetabek) in 2020. There are already suspects named, namely Ivo Wongkaren who is the President Director of Mitra Energi Persada.

The actions of the suspect in this case, called the KPK, made the state lose up to Rp250 billion. This figure can still increase because the calculation is still being carried out.
