Jakarta (B2B) - Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) memeriksa Gubernur Banten, Ratu Atut Gubernur Provinsi Chosiyah, Selasa (19/11) atas dugaan keterlibatannya dalam korupsi dalam pengadaan alat kesehatan di provinsi tersebut.
"Saya akan memberikan klarifikasi kepada KPK tentang dugaan tersebut," kata Ratu Atut sebelum memasuki gedung KPK untuk interogasi.
Sementara itu, Juru Bicara KPK Johan Budi mengatakan bahwa penyidik ��telah menanyai beberapa pejabat tinggi di dinas kesehatan Banten mengenai tuduhan korupsi terhadap Atut.
Sebelumnya, Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) dalam laporannya telah menyoroti tiga indikator penyimpangan dalam pengadaan alat kesehatan di Provinsi Banten, yang dilaporkan senilai Rp30 miliar.
Menurut laporan itu, dalam banyak kasus peralatan lengkap telah diperintahkan atau peralatan yang tidak cocok dengan spesifikasi yang dibutuhkan. Beberapa peralatan juga ditemukan hilang selama pemeriksaan.
Selain menyelidiki dugaan korupsi di Provinsi Banten, KPK juga telah melakukan pemeriksaan kasus serupa di Kabupaten Tangerang Selatan (bagian dari Provinsi Banten), di mana adik Atut Chosiyah, Tubagus Chaeri Wardhana alias Wawan menjadi tersangka.
Jakarta (B2B) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned Banten Governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah on Tuesday over her alleged involvement in corruption during the procurement of medical equipment for the province.
"I will give a clarification to the KPK about these allegations," Ratu Atut stated before entering the KPK building for the interrogation.
Meanwhile, KPK Spokesman Johan Budi pointed out that investigators had questioned several high ranking officials in the Banten Provinces Health department regarding the corruption allegations.
Earlier, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) in its report had highlighted three indicators of misappropriation in the procurement of medical equipment in the Banten Province, which was reportedly worth Rp30 billion.
According to the report, in many instances incomplete equipment had been ordered or equipment that was unsuitable as per the specifications required. Some equipment was also found missing during inspection.
Apart from investigating corruption allegations in the Banten Province, the KPK has also launched a probe into a similar case in the South Tangerang district (part of the Banten Province), in which Chosiyahs half brother Tubagus Chaeri Wardhana alias Wawan is a suspect.
