Lampung High Prosecutor's Special Crime Investigators (Kejati) found allegations of inflating costs (mark ups) for official travel at the Secretariat of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of Tanggamus Regency in 2021.

"As a result of the investigators' work, we found a mark of official travel carried out by the leadership of the DPRD and members of the Tanggamus DPRD," said Special Criminal Assistant (Aspidsus) Hutamrin as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 12.

He continued, the mark up for the official trip occurred in the inflated cost of lodging for four DPRD leaders and 44 DPRD members at hotels in Lampung and outside Lampung.

"There are components for APBD lodging costs and meeting service expenditures for DPRD leaders and DPRD members of Rp. 14 billion, Rp. 12 billion has been realized," said Hutamrin.

The purpose of official travel outside the city and within the city includes six hotels in the city of Bandarlampung, two hotels in Jakarta, and seven hotels in South Sumatra.

The results of the investigation, which began in January 2023, were three modes carried out by the people's representatives.

Among them is the inflated hotel room fee in areas that already have bills and are attached to the Official Travel Letter (SPJ), but are higher than the actual room price in the hotel.

There is also a fictitious hotel bill at SPJ because the names of guests attached never stay based on the data on each hotel's computer.

"Then the third is based on the record that we found DPRD members who stayed two people for one room, but one person was made at SPJ each. The mark-up was assisted by travel on the orders of the council members," he said.

"Yesterday we have increased the case process from an investigation to a general investigation and have conducted exposures at the AGO. The indication of state losses is currently IDR 7 billion, but later it will be calculated through an audit to find out what the actual value is," said Hutamrin.
