BPK and KPK asked to investigate allegations of corruption in the Special Autonomy Fund and PON Papua

The Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Wadah Generasi Anak Bangsa (WGAB) Papua Province Yerry Basri Mak hopes that the government will seriously handle corruption cases in Papua.

He also asked the Indonesian Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) for Papua Representatives and the Indonesian KPK to intervene and firmly investigate allegations of corruption in Papua.

"I see that law enforcement in Papua for corruption is not adequate, why? Because there are so many violations of law in Papua, especially corruption that has not been touched," he said, quoted Monday, December 13, 2021.
 
He also assessed that the condition of the Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe, who was sick, was one of the reasons why the wheels of government were not running optimally.

"I also see that the condition of the Governor of Papua who is sick is being used by certain parties, there are elements in the governor's circle who instigate and provoke the Governor so that they often take the wrong policies," he said.
 
According to him, the urgent points are related to the use of Papua Special Autonomy funds, PON XX Papua and Peparnas XVI Papua. According to him, these big events with very large budgets are suspected to have been corrupted.

“Broadly speaking, I ask the BPK to audit the Special Autonomy Fund and PON Fund and Peparnas funds. Audited and surely later we will find the irregularities. CPC Don't be afraid of audits. The KPK must step in again, this is a big fund," he said.

According to him, there are several indications of budget abuse that have appeared on the surface, both Otsus and PON. Meanwhile, Peparnas also needs to be audited as a form of transparency.

"In fact, there are still many areas in Papua that have failed to develop, the spirit of Otsus for the welfare of the people has not touched, and Papuan officials have corrupted this," he said.

He assessed that the same with village funds was also corrupted and diverted for other interests, not for the community. While the PON funds, it is an indication that there are still many unpaid honorariums, both for health, media and drivers.

"This is big money, not a little, so they don't get paid. This is a strong indication that the KPK must intervene, these officials in Papua are examined because the indications are clear," he said.

He also mentioned Papuan officials who splurge to the capital city of Jakarta, or other places just to spend money. Where is his human instinct, reveling under the suffering of his people.

"The welfare of your people first, what do they ask for, do you go, do you go to school, do you have health, this must be considered. Don't let them scream because you are regional leaders who seem to only care for their own pleasure, this is not true," he said.
