"Yes, his examination as a witness will take place starting Wednesday (29/6) and today. It is most likely related to the submission of files to investigators," Efien said as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 30.

The conventional bank employee came by using a four-wheeled vehicle. Seen at least five people out of the vehicle, then went straight to the Prosecutor's Office NTB.

This case was previously under the control of the East Lombok District Attorney. The NTB Prosecutor's Office will take over the handling of this case in 2021.

According to information, the director general of one of the ministries made a visit to East Lombok Regency in August 2020.

During his visit, the state official met with farmers and provided information about the existence of the KUR assistance program through banking facilities.

From this information, collected 622 farmers from five villages in the southern part of East Lombok who received proposals to enter as recipients of KUR funds.

Those who accepted the proposal came from among corn farmers. Each farmer is promised a cash loan of Rp. 15 million for the area of land per hectare.

Of the 662 farmers, the total land area included in the funding reached 1,582 hectares.

Continued among tobacco farmers. It was recorded that there were 460 people who were collected in the data on proposals for aid recipients. In his promise, each farmer gets funds from KUR in the amount of Rp. 30 million to Rp. 50 million.

With such data collection, the farmers who are registered in the proposed data for KUR recipients are required to undergo a loan administration process. A number of signed files.

In this process, the role of a third party, namely CV ABB and HKTI NTB were involved. They act as government partners in collecting data on farmers and managing KUR funds.

For the administrative purposes of corn farmers, they apply for KUR funds with BNI Mataram Branch. Meanwhile, tobacco farmers through BNI Praya Branch.

Regarding the existence of CV ABB as a third party, there is a strong suspicion that it received a direct appointment from the ministry. Likewise with the involvement of HKTI NTB.

Problems in this case also emerged when a number of farmers applied for loans to BRI. The application could not be processed because of the ongoing problem of KUR arrears at BNI.

Their arrears also varied, ranging from Rp. 15 million to Rp. 45 million. The value depends on the ownership of the land area. However, until now it was revealed that the farmers claimed to have never received the credit funds.
