T

he Jakarta Police have completed investigations into a graft case that is alleged to have caused prolonged dwelling times at Tanjung Priok Port in North Jakarta.

The dossiers on two suspects in the case, Trade Ministry non-imported capital goods subdirectory head Imam Aryanta and a contract worker Musafah, were delivered to prosecutors on Tuesday.

Jakarta Police special crime director Sr. Comr. Mujiono said the two dossiers were the last part of the dwelling-time case involving a total of six suspects. Three suspects are from the ministry while another three are exporters.

He said the police would continue to keep a close watch on the matter.

'€œWe'€™ll still keep a close eye on the port'€™s activities,'€ he said as quoted by kompas.com on Wednesday.

Police began working on the case after President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo lashed out at the lengthy dwelling times at Tanjung Priok Port during an inspection of the Indonesia Port Corporation (IPC) in June.

Dwelling times indicate the average length of time a container spends in a seaport terminal. A shorter dwelling time means a more efficient shipment procedure and lower logistical costs.

After a month of monitoring the area, the police discovered irregularities at the permit pre-clearance stage in the one-stop integrated service office at the port, which could have resulted from the absence of officials, including those from the Trade Ministry.
