"Yes, that's right. In the morning around 09.00 Wita, the person concerned came," he said as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 22.
He ensured that Zulkieflimansyah underwent an examination in his capacity as a witness in accordance with the investigator's summons last week.
"He was called as a witness," he said.
Until the end of the afternoon break, the person concerned was observed still undergoing an examination in the special criminal field.
Previously, on Tuesday (21/7), the prosecutor also examined the parties who carried out the activities. They are Chandra and his colleague, Bahrul.
During the examination, the LSMC 2023 implementer admitted that he was asked for information regarding the findings of the NTB Inspectorate in accordance with the 2024 Inspection Report with a value of Rp. 2.6 billion out of the total budget of Rp. 21.5 billion.
In addition to the implementing party, the NTB Prosecutor's Office has recorded a number of witnesses in the course of the investigation. Many of them appear to be present from among government officials who are still active or retired.
Those who attended were the former Head of the NTB Tourism Office, Jamaludin Malady, who is now the Head of the Bureau of Government of the NTB Provincial Secretariat. He has been listed as having met the prosecutor's investigators several times.
Besides Jamaludin Malady, there were also former regional officials, namely Lalu Gita Ariadi who underwent an examination while serving as the Acting Governor of NTB.
Then, there is the former NTB Inspectorate Inspector, Ibnu Salim and the former Head of the Regional Financial and Asset Management Agency (BPKAD) NTB, Samsul Rizal.
The extreme racing sports event, which was held with the aim of attracting tourists on the NTB HUT momentum, took place on November 24-26, 2023.
The NTB Tourism Office as the organizer of the activity collaborated with nine vendors, both in the implementation of the main activities under the control of the Indonesian Motor Association (IMI) and supporting activities.
Nine vendors carry out this activity using the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy (Kemenparekraf) budget worth Rp. 24 billion which is disbursed in the form of Government Assistance (Banper) from the 2023 State Budget.
However, from the realization of activities, the budget of Rp. 24 billion was not fully used. There is a balance of Rp. 2.5 billion which will be returned to the center as a Surplus of the Budget Calculation (Silpa) after the activities take place.
The emergence of the remaining budget was also known by Jamaludin as the commitment maker (PPK) of the activity based on the letter of accountability (SPJ).
Furthermore, from the realization of the budget for activities worth Rp. 21.5 billion, the NTB Inspectorate found Rp. 2.6 billion.
The findings were allegedly the basis for the NTB Prosecutor to follow up on this matter to the investigation stage.
