Marjan explained that the assigned team would later carry out a number of tasks, including verifying reports of cutting BLT funds to the community allegedly carried out by village officials.

Then, there are other reports related to the management of BUMDes and a number of other reports from the public.

Marjan explained that currently the assigned team has started working, to conduct audits and trace reports that have been received, in order to ensure the truth of the information submitted by the public.

If later the team finds information as reported by the public, then it will provide notes in the form of an Examination Result Report (LHP) that has been carried out, to be followed up in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Even though they have deployed the inspection team, Marjan admitted that his party does not know for sure the number of alleged BLT cuts as reported by the public.

"Currently the team is working, we are still waiting for the results of a special audit from the team in the field," said Marjan.
