KAPUAS - The Special Unit for Corruption Eradication at the Kuala Kapuas District Attorney's Office, Kapuas Regency, Central Kalimantan, searched the local General Elections Commission (KPU) office.

"This search was carried out, with the aim of obtaining documents related to evidence in the context of corruption committed by members of the Kapuas KPU," said Head of Special Unit of the Kapuas District Attorney's Office, Striman Eka Putra after the search in Kuala Kapuas, reported by Antara, Wednesday, October 6.

"At the moment we have not named the suspect. Hopefully, from the results of this search, we can immediately determine the status of the suspect," he said.

It was said that the investigating prosecutor's team who handled the KPU case of alleged KPU corruption in 2020 related to the gubernatorial election (Pilgub), received an order from the Head of the Kapuas District Prosecutor's Office to conduct a search.

During the search, his party secured a number of documents related to the implementation of the Central Kalimantan gubernatorial election, in 2020. Its activities include the procurement of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and so on as well as related to the disbursement of financial reports.

"For the files that we have secured, there are more than 25 boxes. God willing, as soon as possible, we ask for the support of all friends. The point is that we are investigators from the Kapuas District Attorney, we don't sleep, we work, and whatever the risks we face, we don't hesitate -reluctant to take action on those who are at fault,” said Striman Eka Putra. Meanwhile, the Head of the Kapuas Regency KPU, Jamilah Maisura, said that his party very welcomes the arrival of the Kapuas Kejari to conduct a search of their office.

"Our response is that they (prosecutors) have a letter of assignment, and come to our office, it is impossible for us to refuse. Because according to the existing tupoksi, yes we are 'welcome' and we respect it because it may be part of the legal process," he said. .

For the search itself, his party did not really know clearly what documents were taken by the prosecutor's office.

"If the rooms were searched, in the rooms of the Secretary, Treasurer and KPU Hall," said Jamilah Maisura.
