The Central Lombok District Attorney's Special Crime Investigator, West Nusa Tenggara, is waiting for the results of an audit of the state losses officially from public accountants who live in Bali related to the alleged corruption case of the asphalt road project towards the Mount Tunak Nature Tourism Park (TWA). "The results of the audit of the state loss already exist, around Rp600 million. However, it is still the result of hand graffiti, which we are waiting for the official results," said Head of the Special Crime Section of the Central Lombok Kejari Bratha Hariputra quoted by ANTARA, Friday, May 5. He said that the public accounting firm who audited state losses in this case was in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). "There (NTT) they were also asked to calculate state losses in the case handled by the Polda and the NTT Prosecutor's Office," he said. If the results of the audit of state losses have been officially obtained, according to him, investigators will determine further handling steps. Bratha also assured this by stating that investigators have pocketed potential suspects "Because PMH (act against the law) already exists, so it remains only to be strengthened from the results of audits of the state losses only," he said. The work on asphalt road projects that collapsed at a number of road points along 1 kilometer came from the procurement at the NTB Public Works and Spatial Planning (PUPR) Service. Based on data from the official website of the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE), this road project took place in 2017.

The colleague who emerged as project implementer was PT Indomine Utama, whose address is in Selagalas, Mataram City, with a work budget of IDR 3.49 billion. In handling the case, the Central Lombok Kejari collaborated with construction experts from East Nusa Tenggara to conduct an asphalt condition check. Based on the results of expert analysis, it was found that there was a shortage of work volume from the asphalt project. The results of the analysis, he said, then became the basis of the audit team from a public accountant to calculate state losses.
