ATARAM, West Nusa Tenggara: Dozens of students coming from the Dompu Awareness Students Association staged a protest outside the Prosecutor’s Office on Thursday, demanding the authority arrest two suspects in an alleged graft case in a 2007 tap water piping project worth Rp 7.5 billion (US$ 826,000).
“The Prosecutor’s Office has named the suspects but it has yet to detain them,” said the protest’s coordinator, Abas.
The graft case has been reported to Dompu Prosecutor’s Office since 2008 but the progress has been slow. The provincial prosecutor’s office took over the case last year but the progress remains at the same pace.
The students met with the Prosecutor’s Office legal and public relations division chief, Sugiyanta.
“The investigation is ongoing and we just completed checking physical evidence of the [water piping project] construction with a team of experts,” he said. — JP
