MEDAN - The Governor of North Sumatra (Gubsu) Edy Rahmayadi looked irritated when asked about the BPK's findings regarding the handling of COVID-19 in North Sumatra. Gubsu Edy admitted that he was surprised that the issue quickly emerged to the public.
"It's still an internal matter, how come it's in the public domain, this is wrong. Actually, it's like that for up to 60 days, there is a matching or equalization of opinions in the form of clarification. It shouldn't have been in the public domain, it would be strange if journalists found out," said Governor Edy, Friday, 2 July.
According to Gubsu Edy, the North Sumatra Provincial Government is currently improving and matching data with the BPK.
"Reports until accountability have 60 days to be checked. It's only been 40 days, it's still running. It's only later that if 60 days are not completed, it's really found that there was an error, then to the law apparatus, to the public," he explained.
Gubsu Edy emphasized that all activities of the North Sumatra Provincial Government from planning by the head have been supervised by BPKP, DPRD, Inspectorate and BPK.
"After all the responsibilities have been recorded, from reports to accountability for 60 days. If it is not finished, it will be submitted to the public, to the law," he said.
Previously, the PDIP faction of the North Sumatra DPRD highlighted the leak of more than Rp70 billion of the budget for handling COVID-19 in North Sumatra based on the findings of the BPK RI.
The PDIP faction suspected that the COVID-19 budget leak had escaped the supervision of the Governor of North Sumatra, Edy Rahmayadi, so that it could not be accounted for and became a finding of the BPK.
"The PDI-P faction is disappointed that such a large budget has escaped the governor's supervision, so the funds for handling the Covid-19 pandemic in North Sumatra cannot be accounted for. This is a corruption crime that must be investigated," said the chairman of the PDIP faction of the North Sumatra DPRD, Mangapul Purba.
