Procurement of fishing vessels in Tubo Village in 2016-2017 valued at Rp 170 million. The project budget comes from the local village fund. However, this project was reported by a number of residents because it was allegedly corrupted.
Field monitoring at Kejari Majene produced a surprising finding on Wednesday, February 19, 2020. The condition of the ship, which was only two years old, had become a pile of chopped wood. Even some parts of the ship's hull are used as the floor of the house by residents.
From these findings, Ikhsan suspected that there was an effort by certain parties to eliminate evidence. "The information is that the ship has only been held for two years but it has been broken into pieces, meaning that there is a suspicion of removing evidence.
