JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the Inspector General (Irjen) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Akhmad Syakhroza on Tuesday, August 1. He was questioned about an internal audit of the payment of performance allowances (tukin) which led to corruption.

"The witness was present and his knowledge was explored, among others, related to the implementation of an internal audit of the findings of payment of fictitious tukin funds at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources," said Head of the KPK News Section Ali Fikri to reporters in a written statement, Wednesday, August 2.

There was no detail about the audit process. However, investigators also explored the use of bank accounts to accommodate the illegal money received by the suspect.

This information was investigated by examining the private sector, Teten Sudjatmika. The savings are suspected to be a third party.

"The witness was present and his knowledge was investigated, among others, related to the alleged use of certain party bank accounts to store the disbursement of tukin funds," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK named 10 employees at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources as suspects for alleged manipulation of Tukin. They are Sub-Division of Treasury Priyo Andi Gularso, commitment-making official (PPK) Novian Hari Subagio, and PPK staff Lernhard Febrian Sirait.

Then the Expenditure Treasurer Christa Handayani Pangaribowo, PPABP Rokhmat Annashikhah, SPM Operator Beni Arianto, Bill Tester Hendi, PPK Haryat Prasetyo, and accounting verification and recording executor Maria Febri Valentine, and Expenditure Treasurer of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Abdullah.

They should have submitted a performance payment budget of Rp1,399,928,153 but were manipulated to reach Rp29,003,205,373. Or there was a difference of Rp27,603,277,720

The difference money was then divided by 10 people who became suspects with a different nominal. The largest part was obtained by PPK staff from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Febian Sirait, with a nominal value of Rp. 10.8 billion.

Meanwhile, Acting Verification and Accounting Recording Maria Febri Valentine got the smallest part, namely Rp900 million. The manipulation is carried out by conditioning, inserting, and making more payments.

The difference money was then used for BPK inspectors, Umrah cooperation, marriage donations, THR, and treatment. Then they also bought assets in the form of land, houses, indoor volleyball, athletes' mess, vehicles, and precious metals.
