JAKARTA - The inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe denied the flow of money to the Free Papua Organization (OPM). He also denied having any relationship with the banned organization.

"There is no (flow of money to OPM, ed). The Republic of Indonesia is a fixed price," said Lukas to reporters before entering the detention car at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Friday, February 10.

Claimed by Lukas, he did not know the OPM frontman. Including, Benny Wenda who is a Papuan separatist figure.

"Nothing. Don't know (Benny Wenda, ed)," he said.

Previously, the KPK would continue to investigate the flow of money in the bribery and gratification cases that ensnared Lukas Enembe. One of them is the alleged existence of money flowing to the Free Papua Organization (OPM).

"This will certainly be investigated in the investigation process based on evidence, testimony of other witnesses, whether there is a connection with the group that has been opposite the government and so on," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Tuesday, January 17.

Alexander said this allegation would be investigated. They do not want to arbitrarily accuse the flow of money to other parties.

"It will definitely be investigated," he said.

Lukas is 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.
