The Mataram District Attorney (Kejari) complements the instructions of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Representative Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) regarding the need for exposure to see state losses in the alleged corruption case of social assistance (bansos) worth Rp. 6 billion from the council's main ideas.

"So, we have been exposed to the BPKP and they gave additional instructions. We are still waiting for it (the instructions), then the exposure is again to discuss the losses," said Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Mataram Kejari Mardiono in Mataram, Wednesday, April 23, as reported by Antara.

Additional instructions for the need for exposure, he explained, were related to the documents and statements of a number of witnesses through a series of examinations.

The parties included in the inspection agenda came from the recipient and the Mataram Trade Office as distributors of social assistance in the form of money, as well as a number of members of the Mataram DPRD.

By conveying this, Mardiono emphasized that BPKP as the party that helps investigators trace state financial losses has not yet formed an audit team.

"There is no team yet to go down for an audit. Because we still have to expose it first to determine whether or not there is a loss," he said.

Kejari Mataram meningkatkan status penanganan kasus dugaan korupsi ini ke tahap penyidikan pada Januari 2025.

Mardiono ensured that the increase in the status of this handling was based on the results of the case title which had found elements of unlawful acts related to corruption.

The problem with the Psakir fund of the Mataram City DPRD for the 2022 budget year is related to the alleged deduction of the allocation of social assistance recipients.

In the planning, a number of members of the Mataram City DPRD distributed social assistance sourced from the pokir funds in the form of cash. Money is distributed to each group with a nominal budget of IDR 50 million.

The distribution was not directly given by the DPRD, but through the Mataram City Trade Office.

In addition to cutting rations, allegations of misappropriation are related to budget implementing documents (DPA) of the Mataram City DPRD. The council allegedly registered the names of the recipients without any proposal proposals.
