SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: The provincial prosecutor's office
said on Monday that it was investigating the misuse of Rp 92
billion (US$10.8 million) in state funds allocated for special
projects and Rp 105 billion in reforestation funds.

The investigation is focused on four districts -- Sendawar in
West Kutai, Tanjung Selor in Bulungan, and Nunukan and Tanjung
Redeb, both in Berau.

Several officials have been named suspects in the corruption
case, said East Kalimantan Prosecutor's Office head DH Panjaitan.

The graft case surfaced following a recent report filed at the
office by the East Kalimantan Development Finance Comptroller. --
