JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) searched the Papua Province Public Works (PU) Office, Tuesday, February 7. The search was carried out to investigate the alleged bribery and gratification that ensnared the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe.

"The information we received was that there was a search of the KPK investigating team at the Papua Public Works office," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Tuesday, February 7.

"This search is still ongoing," said Ali. So, he could not specify the items found by investigators.

The public is asked to continue to monitor the investigation into the alleged bribery and gratification in Papua.

"The progress will be informed," he said.

Previously, Lukas was a suspect in alleged bribery and gratification for allegedly receiving money from the Director of PT Tabi Bangun Papua, Rijantono Lakka. The gift was made so that the private company got a project in Papua.

The KPK said that there was a 14 percent agreement on the value of the contract and payments must be free of tax deductions.

After agreeing, Rijantono's company got three projects. The first is the improvement of Jalan Entrop-Hamadi with a project value of IDR 14.8 billion.

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 tens of billions that have just been investigated by the KPK.

Apart from Lukas, the KPK suspects that there are officials who play in accepting bribes and gratuities. However, investigators are still investigating.
