JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) summoned North Toraja Regent Yohanis Bassang again today, Tuesday, October 18. The summons is related to the alleged corruption in the construction of the Kingmi Mile 32 Church in Mimika, Papua.
"The investigation was carried out at the Corruption Eradication Commission Office," Acting KPK Spokesperson Ipi Maryati told reporters, Tuesday, October 18.
Yohanis will actually be questioned on Friday, October 14 yesterday. It's just that, he was not present so the KPK scheduled a re-examination.
It was not specified what the KPK would investigate from the examination. However, Yohanis' statement is believed to be able to shed light on the case that ensnared Mimika Regent Eltinus Omaleng.
As previously reported, Mimika Regent Eltinus Omaleng was officially detained by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) after being forcibly picked up. He became a suspect in alleged corruption in the construction of the Kingmi Mile 32 Church in Mimika Regency, Papua.
Apart from Eltinus, there are two other suspects named by the KPK but have not been detained. They are the Head of the Kesra Section of the Mimika Regency Secretariat who is the official commitment maker (PPK) Marthen Sawy and the Director of PT Waringin Megah (WM), Teguh Anggara.
In this case, the KPK suspects that there is a discrepancy, including the period of work when the church was built and the lack of work volume even though payments have been made. As a result, the state lost up to IDR 21.6 billion from the contract value of IDR 46 billion.
In addition, Eltinus allegedly made various arrangements. One of them directly appointed PT Waringin Megah, led by Teguh Anggara.
From this appointment, it is suspected that there was an agreement to provide a fee of 10 percent, of which 7 percent was for Eltinus and 3 percent was Teguh.
In addition, it is suspected that there was a subcontractor from another company, namely PT Kuala Persada Papua Nusantara (KPPN) who worked without a contract agreement. Eltinus said the KPK also received around Rp4.4 billion in this case.
