KPK kept busy with graft cases in Jambi

JAMBI: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has received
185 graft case files from Jambi prosecutors, on top of 8,640
reports from the public on graft.

The corruption cases involve hundreds of billions of rupiah,
making Jambi the 11th most corrupt province in the country, a
government official said on Wednesday.

Indonesia has 33 provinces.

Asep R. Suwanda, an official with the KPK visiting Jambi, said
the commission was investigating the cases. The KPK was formed to
investigate corruption cases involving potential state losses of
more than Rp 1 billion.

Among the high-profile cases being investigated by the KPK in
Jambi is alleged graft in the provincial council and alleged
markups in several government projects in the province. -- JP
