he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) raided on Monday the house of former Papua governor Barnabas Suebu, who was named a suspect in August for his alleged role in a graft case surrounding a hydropower plant project on the Mamberamo River, Papua.
The prominent Papuan politician, who served two terms as governor, allegedly doctored allocations in the 2009-2010 provincial budget, for a project to produce detailed engineering design (DED) for the power plant, which made a state loss of Rp 35 billion (US$2.9 million).
'Besides Barnabas' house, we will also raid some agency offices in Jayapura, such as the Mining Agency, the Autonomy Agency and the Development Consultation Office,' KPK spokesman Priharsa Nugraha said on Monday as quoted by Antara news agency.
He said that his commission would also raid the house of Lamusi Didi, president director of PT Konsultasi Pembangunan Irian Jaya, as he was alleged to have been involved in the graft case.
Barnabas, a NasDem Party member, was also elected a lawmaker in the recent legislative election for the 2014-2019 period. (alz)
