Corruption in goods procurement caused loss of Rp689 billion

State money corrupted in goods and service procurement during the 2005 - 2009 period reached a total of Rp689.19 billion, Acting Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chief Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean said.

"The figure is based on data obtained from cases handled by KPK from 2005 to 2009," Tumpak said on the sidelines of a national conference on corruption eradication in Indonesia here on Wednesday.

The KPK data showed that the Rp689.19 billion was corrupted in the procurement of various goods and services worth Rp1.9 trillion.

He said that the losses which were suffered by the state were corrupted because agencies or bodies carrying out the good and service projects were appointed directly.

The state`s losses of this type reached Rp647 billion or 94 percent of the total of corrupted money, he said.

Tumpak said that six percent, or 41.3 billion was corrupted through price markups.
The KPK acting chairman said the state losses were calculated from corruption cases on which the Supreme Court had already issued a verdict.

He said the amount of corrupted money could be deducted by the amount of money corruption suspects had returned but the KPK had no information on the refunds.
