Papua Governor Lukas Enembe was finally brought to Jakarta after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was named a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification related to project work. He was arrested today, Tuesday, January 10. "That's right (Lukas Enembe was arrested, ed)," said a VOI source when contacted via text message, Tuesday, January 10. Meanwhile, the KPK has not confirmed the arrest. KPK chairman Firli Bahuri and KPK Deputy Chair Nurul Ghufron did not answer the confirmation of the arrest. Lukas Enembe has been officially announced as a suspect by the KPK on Thursday, January 5. The announcement was made at the same time as the determination and detention of the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua Rijantono Lakka. In this case, it is suspected that Rijantono could get a project because he colluded with several officials and Lukas Enembe before the project auction started. Communication is believed to be accompanied by the provision of bribes. The agreement in the partnership between Rijantono, Lukas and other officials in Papua is 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. Then, the 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. However, Lukas was arrested because he admitted to being sick. In fact, Firli Bahuri and an independent team visited him in Jayapura, Papua.
