The former Regent of Tanah Bumbu who is also a suspect of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Mardani H Maming, faces a new lawsuit. In addition to Mardani, there are three parties who got sued in the same lawsuit related to a Mining Business License (IUP). The plaintiff asked for compensation of more than Rp4 trillion.

Within a week, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was reported to be handling three different cases of alleged corruption and ensnaring three regional leaders including the Governor of Papua, Lukas Enembe (Demokrat). The KPK finally confirmed the news on Sept. 14, 2022 and stated that it had named Lukas as suspect. The KPK did not explain in more detail about the case that ensnared Lukas, but it mentioned the findings of an unusual transaction in Lukas’ bank account and mentioned the special autonomy funds (dana otonomi khusus – otsus). The last topic has always been our question for the past few years.
