MATARAM - The handling of a case of alleged corruption in reclamation activities in the Amahami coastal area, Bima City, has entered the investigation process of the West Nusa Tenggara High Prosecutor's Office.
"The investigation is still ongoing," said NTB Regional Attorney's Office Special Criminal Assistant Muh. Zulkifli Said in Mataram, Monday, January 19, reported by ANTARA.
Regarding the agenda of requesting clarification from a number of parties, one of which was from the community who revealed that they received payment for ownership of ownership certificates for land that was included in the reclamation area, he refused to provide information.
"This is still under investigation, we can't say it yet, just wait," he said.
According to information, the prosecutor's office in this case made a request for clarification by going directly to Bima City. At least dozens of people were questioned at the Bima District Attorney's Office, including government officials.
From the search for the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE) of Bima City, it was recorded that the local government carried out a number of physical projects that swallowed the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) with a fantastic amount for the development of the Amahami area into a tourist area.
The physical project was carried out at a time when the Bima City Government was under the leadership of the mayor for two periods, namely M. Qurais H. Abidin.
The realization of the physical project was recorded in 2017. In this fiscal year, the Bima City Government allocated a budget of Rp. 2.5 billion for the arrangement of the Amahami tourist area with work under the Bima City PUPR Service work unit.
In the same year, it was recorded that there was a project that cost a budget of Rp. 1.5 billion for the Amahami Supermarket heap work. The work of this project is under the control of the Bima City Cooperative, Industry and Trade Office (Diskopindag) work unit.
Continuing in the 2018 fiscal year, the Bima City Government allocated a total of IDR 13.5 billion for the Amahami Market Circle road construction project. The work from the project is under the control of the Bima City PUPR Office.
The Amahami area is one of the concentrations of the local government for tourism development, which is expected to revive a new economy for the people in Bima City.
Finally, in 2025, the local government recorded an effort to seek central government support for the paving of the outer two-ring road work resulting from the 2018 project reclamation in the Amahami coastal area.
The area is suspected to be one of the objects handled by the prosecutor for the issuance of a right of ownership for reclaimed land.
In addition to the recorded land ownership of 5 hectares by the Bima City Government, there are 28 land objects in the name of individuals with varying areas, ranging from the smallest 3 are to dozens of hectares.
