JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was asked to take over the alleged corruption of the Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency pipeline project in 2009-2010. The request was submitted by the Central Leadership Council of Laskar Garuda Ber Suara because it considered this case not seriously handled by the Attorney General's Office (AGO).

"The mega corruption act of the Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency pipeline project in 2009-2010 which caused hundreds of billions of state finances was not handled seriously, professionally, and completely and even selectively," said Mahameru Putra Ahtadera, who is the coordinator of the action at the KPK's Red and White House, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Wednesday, July 17.

The protesters also asked the KPK to investigate and carry out comprehensive examinations in this case. Including tracking the flow of funds allegedly enjoyed by other parties.

"The party suspected of being involved was S as the head of the region at that time and SF who was the implementer of the pipeline project in Tanjung Jabung Barat. Both are suspected of having both received a fee," said Putra.

The clean water pipeline in Tanjung Jabung Barat Regency in 2009-2010 is a project that should be carried out along 34 km.

This project is multi-years whose source of funds came from the APBD which in 2008 was allocated IDR 111 billion; IDR 160 billion in 2009; and IDR 137 billion in 2010. Meanwhile, from the APBN the value reached IDR 7 billion in 2007.
