NGO Reports Alleged Corruption in Kuningan to KPK

The Frontal NGO is continuing its efforts to uphold clean governance in Kuningan Regency. The organisation has reported an alleged corruption case involving Regional Secretary U. Kusmana to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

The report refers to a finding by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) concerning the alleged misappropriation of Replacement Money (GU) funds amounting to IDR 3.17 billion at the Kuningan Regency Education and Culture Office (Disdikbud). The alleged corruption is suspected to have occurred when U. Kusmana held the position of Head of the Education and Culture Office and served as the Budget User (PA) for the 2025 fiscal year.

Throughout 2025, the Kuningan Disdikbud disbursed Supply/Replacement Money (UP/GU) funds totalling IDR 3.84 billion for 45 activities across six work units. However, only IDR 668.1 million of the total funds were actually realised in accordance with the Budget Execution Document (DPA).

“The remaining IDR 3.17 billion was reportedly not used for Disdikbud activities and was not supported by adequate accountability documents,” said Frontal NGO Chairman Uha Juhana on Monday (3/8). Based on the BPK Audit Report, the disbursement of funds outside of official operations was allegedly carried out on the orders and with the knowledge of the Budget User at the time. Furthermore, the SIPKD and SIPD operators continued to input expenditure realisation even without an Accountability Letter (SPJ).

Uha stressed that the BPK’s findings should not be reduced to a mere administrative matter. He argued that the indication of fund flows without activities and without accountability documents must serve as an entry point for the KPK to investigate the alleged criminal act of corruption. The group considers the Compensation Claim (TGR) mechanism insufficient to halt the existing legal process.

Therefore, Frontal NGO is urging the KPK to immediately summon and examine all related parties. “Everyone, from the treasurer to U. Kusmana as the budget user at that time. This report is filed with reference to Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption and Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning Money Laundering,” he concluded.
