The KPK Examines The Process Of Discussing The Budgeting Of The Papua Regional Budget That Uses The Special Autonomy Fund

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is looking for the process of budgeting for the Papua Regional Budget, especially those using special autonomy funds. This step was taken by examining Deputy Speaker of the Papuan House of Representatives (DPRP) Yunus Wonda today, Friday, January 20.

"The witness was present and his knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the discussion of budgeting for the APBD, including special autonomy funds in the Papua Province," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta (Jaksel), Friday, January 20.

Not only that, investigators are also investigating the budget allocation for Lukas' operations while serving as governor. However, Ali did not specify the amount.

"In addition, it was also investigated regarding the budget allocation post for the operation of suspect LE as governor," he said.

As previously reported, Lukas Enembe was detained at the KPK Detention Center Pomdam Jaya Guntur branch for allegedly accepting bribes and gratuities related to a number of projects in Papua.

The receipt is thought to have come from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka, so that the company gets a project. The KPK said that this collusion was also carried out by Lukas along with other Papuan provincial government officials.

As for the case, the KPK said there was an agreement to provide a fee of 14 percent of the contract value. Fee must be free from tax reduction.

At least, there are three projects that Rijantono got for this evil consensus. The first is the improvement of the Entro-Hamadi Road with a project value of Rp. 14.8 billion.

Rehabilitation of facilities and infrastructure supporting PAUD Integration with a project value of IDR 13.3 billion. Finally, the venue environmental planning project developed outdoor AURI with a project value of IDR 12.9 billion.

After the project was won, Rijantono handed over Rp1 billion to Lukas. In addition, Lukas is also suspected of receiving gratuities of up to billions of rupiah.
