elchias Mekeng, a Golkar Party politician who was also the chairman of House of Representatives Commission XI overseeing finance from 2009 until 2014, reported businessman Andi Narogong to the National Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (Bareskrim) on Monday after Andi accused him of accepting money in relation to the e-ID graft case.
“I’m here to find justice,” Melchias said when entering Bareskrim.
Melchias’ name was first mentioned in 2010 by former Democratic Party treasurer Muhammad Nazaruddin as one of the people who allegedly accepted embezzled money from the e-ID project.
In February, Andi Agustinus alias Andi Narogong, a businessman who was a supplier in the Rp 5.9 billion e-ID project, also told the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) that during the period of September to October 2010, he had given money to Melchias several times, amounting to US$ 1.4 million, to smoothen the project’s budget approval at the House.
