BENGKULU - Bengkulu District Attorney's investigators (Kejari) conducted another search of two locations related to the investigation into the one billion-one-kelurahan (Samisake) program corruption case in 2013. The search was carried out at the Office of the Maju Bersama Community Empowerment Agency (BKM) and at the house of the Chairman of the Maju Bersama BKM, precisely in Rawa Makmur Village, Bengkulu City, Thursday. "For the purposes of investigating the alleged corruption of the Samisake program of the Bengkulu City Government in 2013, today we conducted a search at the residence of the Chairman of the Maju Bersama BKM and the BKM Maju Bersama Office in Rawa Makmur Village," said Samisake Bengkulu Investigation Team Head Agustian accompanied by Head of Pidsus Qori Mustikawati and Head of Intelligence Section Bengkulu Kejari Fery Junaidi in Bengkulu, Antara, Thursday, September 21. He said the results of the searches at the two points were that the Bengkulu Kejari Pidsus investigator team carried two large suitcases containing hundreds of files which were suspected to have something to do with the investigation into the alleged corruption of the Samisake program. The search was carried out in order to follow up on the case after naming four suspects, namely the Mandiri City Wattamwil Mall Manager ZP, the Head of the Sanif Mandiri AM Cooperative, the Head of the Skip Mandiri RH Cooperative and the Treasurer of the Skip Mandiri JL Cooperative. "We will examine all the confiscated evidence and it is possible that in the future there will be a new suspect in the investigation into the alleged corruption case of the Bengkulu City Government Samisake program in 2013," said Agustian. Previously, the four suspects were at least Rp771 million in Samisake revolving funds that had not been returned to the Samisake Regional Public Service Agency for Reviled Funds (BLUD-SDB) from the total findings of Rp856 million. The funds from suspect AM are around Rp 127 million, suspect JL Rp100 million, suspect RH Rp56 million and suspect ZP Rp573 million. Based on the results of an audit from the 2019 Indonesian Financial Audit Agency (BPK) and the Bengkulu City Samisake program, it was found that the recipients received a bad contribution of Rp. 13 billion. Meanwhile, based on the results of an independent audit requested by the Bengkulu City Government from Rp. 13 billion, there were Rp. 1 billion that had been deposited into the UPTD to the Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD) and the remaining Rp. 12 billion left which had to be recovered according to BPK RI's advice.
