The West Sumbawa District Attorney's Office (Kejari) is investigating allegations of irregularities in budget disbursement for 11 sports (sports) at the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) West Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Head of the Intelligence Section of the West Sumbawa District Attorney's Office, Herris Priyadi, said that the investigation of this case was a follow-up to the sealing of the West Sumbawa KONI Office in Taliwang.

"In this case, we are still limited to monitoring through the intelligence function of the prosecutor's office by starting to collect data and information in the field," said Herris, who was contacted, Monday, October 31.

In the series of investigations, Herris said that the Kejari investigators would trace the flow of budget disbursement for the 11 sports. The Kejari will ask for clarification from KONI administrators and sportsmen who feel aggrieved.

Regarding the sealing of the West Sumbawa KONI office, based on Antara's report, the sports management carried out in mid-October 2022.

The basis for the sealing is related to the demand for payment of goods for the purchase of regional training centers (pelatda) ahead of the 2022 Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) which has not received a response from KONI.

The sports management did this because previously they received an appointment from KONI to receive budget distribution in fulfilling the regional plate needs ahead of Porprov 2022.

Even though there is a decision that Porprov 2022 will be postponed. However, the sports management knows that KONI has disbursed the budget for the purchase of plate goods worth Rp. 310 million.

However, the disbursement of the budget did not reach the sports management who are still in debt in the purchase of goods needed by the regional government. This is the reason the sports management sealed the West Sumbawa KONI Office.

"That's why later we will clarify all parties," he said.

Herris said the West Sumbawa Kejari opened a reporting room for parties who felt aggrieved by this issue. He hopes that the reporter will also include evidence in the report.
