JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said it often gets complaints from the public and anti-corruption activists regarding allegations of presumptuous practices in Papua. As a result, they set three regional heads on the Cendrawasih Earth.
Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Alexander Marwata explained that the three regional heads in Papua who were suspects were the inactive Mimika Regent Eltinus Omaleng, the inactive Central Mamberamo Regent Ricky Ham Pagawak, and Papua Governor Lukas Enembe.
"Several times, the KPK leadership to Papua has always received complaints from the anti-corruption activist community and businessmen as if the KPK did not have its presence in Papua," Alexander said as quoted from the Indonesian KPK YouTube, Thursday, September 15.
The KPK, continued Alexander, ensures that it will not remain silent with various reports of alleged corruption that are included, including those in Papua. Coordination with other parties is usually carried out immediately as soon as a report comes in.
In determining the suspect, Alexander ensured that his party already held the adequacy of evidence. Starting from documents to other goods, of course, investigators already have it.
"That makes us believe that there is enough evidence to identify a suspect," he said.
"We hope that the support of the Papuan people regarding the eradication of corruption that we are doing. We hope that the funds that are so large that have been distributed by the central government in the form of special autonomy funds can really be used for the welfare of the Papuan people," continued Alexander.
As previously reported, the KPK confirmed that it had named Papuan Governor Lukas Enembe as a suspect. The case that ensnared him has not been detailed, but the incumbent governor has been prevented from going abroad for six months.
The Directorate General of Immigration said that the prevention was requested by the KPK for six months.
"The Directorate of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement (Ditwasdakim) of the Directorate General of Immigration has received a prevention application to the subject on behalf of Lukas Enembe," said Director of Immigration Supervision and Enforcement I Nyoman Gede Surya Mataram in a written statement, Monday, September 12.
In addition, the KPK has tried to summon and examine Lukas some time ago. However, he did not attend the reason he was sick.
