DOC ANTARA

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stated that the new suspect, who is the briber of the inactive Papua Governor Lukas Enembe, will only be announced after the exposure or title of the case is complete. This activity will later be followed by the ranks of KPK officials.

"Later on, we will definitely convey the progress after the analysis from the KPK investigating team has been completed with a case title or exposure," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters, Thursday, February 23.

Ali ensured they already had strong clues regarding this new suspect. It's just that, according to the mechanism, the announcement of the suspect will only be made after the exposure is carried out.

"So later we will convey the progress related to the case of suspect LE," he said.

The KPK previously revealed that there were new suspects in the bribery and gratification case that ensnared Lukas. He is said to have come from a private party who is suspected of bribing the inactive governor in order to get a development project in Papua.

As a reminder, Lukas became 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 received 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.
