The second phase of the delegation of five suspects in the alleged corruption case of the Pesawaran Regency Drinking Water Supply System (SPAM) Project for Fiscal Year 2022 arrived at the Lampung High Prosecutor’s Office (Kejati) at 12.15 WIB, Wednesday (13/1/2026).
The five suspects are Dendi Ramadhona, former Regent of Pesawaran, Zainal Fikri as Head of the Pesawaran PUPR Service, as well as three private sector project partners, namely Syahril, Sahril and Adal Linardo.
Based on observations, four suspects were wearing masks, including Dendi Ramadhona who was seen carrying a small black bag with a brown strap.
Assistant for Special Crimes at the Lampung Prosecutor’s Office, Armen Wijaya, stated that the case files for the five suspects were complete or P21.
“The case files have been declared complete. In the near future, phase II delegation will be carried out,” he said.
This phase II delegation was carried out so that cases worth around IDR 8 billion could be immediately tried at the Tanjungkarang District Court for Corruption Crimes.
Armen added that investigators had found sufficient evidence during the process of investigating the SPAM project which was sourced from the Special Allocation Fund (DAK) at the Pesawaran Regency Public Housing and Settlement Area Service for Fiscal Year 2022.
This case began in 2021, when the Pesawaran District Government, through the Perkim Service, proposed Physical DAK funds to the PUPR Ministry amounting to IDR 10 billion. The PUPR Ministry then set an allocation of IDR 8.2 billion for the drinking water sector in 2022.
However, in its implementation, the SPAM project was not carried out by the Perkim Service as originally planned, but was transferred to the Pesawaran PUPR Service. The PUPR Service then prepared a new plan that was different from the activity plan approved by the PUPR Ministry.
As a result of these changes, project results in the field did not match the initial objectives of providing DAK funds, giving rise to indications of state financial losses.
For their actions, the suspects were charged under Article 2 paragraph (1) jo. Article 18 of Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended by Law Number 20 of 2001 jo. Article 55 paragraph (1) 1st of the Criminal Code. They are also accused of Article 3 jo. Article 18 of the same Law.
“It does not rule out the possibility of applying other articles according to the actions of the suspects,” concluded Armen.
