CENTRAL LOMBOK - The Central Lombok District Attorney's Office, West Nusa Tenggara, revealed the potential loss to the state that arose in the alleged corruption case of the asphalt road project to the Mount Tunak Nature Tourism Park (TWA) at least Rp600 million. "If there is a potential loss to the state, we don't think it's at least Rp. 600 million. In fact, it could be more," said Head of the Special Crimes Section of the Central Lombok Kejari Bratha Hariputra who was met in Mataram, Antara, Thursday, February 2. Bratha conveyed this by looking at the efforts of investigators who are now cooperating with public accountants from Bali to help calculate state losses. "So, to be sure what the value of the loss is, we are waiting for the results of the audit from a public accountant. Coordination with them is still ongoing. Hopefully the results will come out quickly," he said. He also ensured that the results of the audit of public accountants would be complete evidence in the investigator's efforts to reveal the role of the suspect. In fact, to strengthen evidence, investigators again carried out examinations of a number of witnesses. Examination to sharpen criminal evidence leading to violations of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption as amended by Law no. 20 of 2001. The work on the asphalt road project that collapsed at a number of 1 kilometer long road points, he said, came from the procurement at the NTB Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Service. Based on data from the official website of the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE), this road project took place in 2017. The partner who appears as the project implementer is PT Indomine Utama, whose address is in Selagalas, Mataram City, with a budget of IDR 3.49 billion. In handling the case, the Central Lombok Kejari collaborated with construction experts from East Nusa Tenggara to check the condition of asphalt. Based on the results of expert analysis, it was found that there was a shortage of work volume from the asphalt project. The results of the analysis then became the basis for the audit team from a public accountant to calculate state losses.
