The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has examined West Kalimantan Governor Ria Norsan as a witness to alleged corruption in procurement at the Mempawah Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Office. He was questioned for his role in the project.

Meanwhile, Ria Norsan was questioned by the KPK on Thursday, August 21. The summons was made in her capacity as the former Regent of Mempawah for two terms, namely 2009-2014 and 2014-2018.

"I gave an idea, so that was the case when the person concerned became the Regent of Mempawah before becoming governor. The road project case," Asep told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, quoted on Saturday, August 23.

Asep said that there were already suspects in this case. However, investigators are still looking for Ria Norsan's role in the project.

This is because every road construction project or road repair must be known to the regional head. "This is what the new suspect is, if I'm not mistaken. So we are also investigating, exploring it related to the project," he said.

"It must go through the regional head first, don't think about the project directly to (the other party, ed) without the knowledge of the regional head there. Then we will also definitely find out whether there is a policy or what irregularities there are," continued Asep, who also serves as Director of KPK Investigation. .

As previously reported, the KPK searched a number of locations to look for evidence of alleged corruption in West Kalimantan Province on Sunday, April 27. The exact position is reported in Mempawah Regency.

In addition, forced efforts were also carried out in the Sanggau and Pontianak areas with a total of 16 locations. Investigators then found electronic evidence and a number of documents related to alleged corruption at the Mempawah District Public Works (PU) Office.

Later, the KPK said that this search was to find evidence of alleged corruption which was investigated using a new investigation letter (sprindik). It is suspected that there were allegations related to the increase in Sekabuk-Sei Sederam Road and the work of improving the Jalan Sekit Rama-Sei Semeram at the Public Works Office of Mempawah Regency for the 2015 Fiscal Year.

There are three suspects who have been named who have not been officially announced by the KPK. However, from the information gathered they are Abdurahman as a civil servant; Lutfi Kaharuddin who is an entrepreneur or President Director of PT Aditama Borneo Prima; and Idy Safriadi as a civil servant of Mempawah Regency.

The three of them are suspected of having caused the state to lose up to Rp40 billion. This amount is said to be changing because the calculation is still being carried out.
