JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) pays attention to infrastructure conditions in Lampung Province. In fact, they could even investigate allegations of corruption in the event of a budget misappropriation.
"It is very possible to carry out an investigation. Very likely," said Deputy Chairperson of the KPK Johanis Tanak at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, May 8.
The KPK stated that it was ready to move to carry out investigations. Moreover, many infrastructures in the province are complained by the public.
One of these infrastructures is the highway in Lampung Province. There are still many roads that are not feasible and have not been repaired for years.
"So the KPK or other law enforcement officers have an obligation to follow up on any information that indicates of course a criminal act of corruption," said Johanis.
Johanis also ensured that the head of the anti-corruption commission would sit down together to highlight the development in Lampung. "For meetings and discussion, an investigation will be addressed when indicated as a criminal act of corruption," he said.
Previously, President Joko Wieodo (Jokowi) had visited Lampung Province to ensure that the infrastructure conditions reported were severely damaged in various areas.
The visit began with Natar Market, South Lampung Regency, a national road around the Sumatra Institute of Technology (Itra), a road to the Kota Baru area. He also crossed Jalan Kota Gajah-Seputih Raman-Simpang Randu-Rumbia.
As a result of the damaged road, the car that President Jokowi was traveling in was constrained. However, he refused to ride the helicopter that had been provided because he wanted to experience road infrastructure in the area.
"If I ride a helicopter, how can I feel the damaged road? No need, I don't have to use a helicopter, I just take a car," said Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media of the Presidential Secretariat Bey Machmudin, imitating President Jokowi's statement at the time.
