KPK Is Requested to Finish the Case of BPD Kaltim

VIVAnews -- Performance of Regional Development Banks (BPD) continues to receive great attention. Currently, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was in the investigation of illegal practices of some of the deposit from BPD to officials at provincial and district levels in some areas.

Cases of illegal deposits in some BPD are seemingly only one of the alleged unhealthy practices that occur in BPD environment. "Its existence, which is far from the supervision of the central institutions’ law enforcement, seems to open greater opportunities for the occurrence of these unhealthy practices.

These unhealthy practices lead to corruption activities that potentially cause significant financial losses to the country, "he said. One of the suspected unhealthy banking practices is the problematic credit channeling by BPD Kaltim to a company.

Legally, the party applying for a loan was indeed a community cooperative as plasma farmer. However, the corporate guarantor was that company. "The fact, it was also that company that manages and uses the credit funds.

Therefore, it can be said that the substantial creditor is that company. The credit was worth around. Rp 219 billion which is realized in July 2009 for the purposes of development and management of community’s oil palm plasma plantations in the area of 1200 hectares in Kutai Kartanegara.

There was an allegation that the credit funds were not used for the development and management of oil palm plantations plasma belongs to the people. This allegation comes after seeing a very slow process of plantation development.

"Almost all plantation development schedule starting from land clearing, construction of roads, construction of drainage until seeding time deviated from the limit that have previously set," the spokesman of Transparansi Otonomi Daerah, Ahmad Dede Kurnia explained on Sunday, January 10, 2010.

"If in the end the people's plantation development fails then most likely the loans will be bad and that means financial losses have led to the state.
In addition, if the people’s plantation development by that company fails then it will surely cause the loss for the local people as the owners and possibly also as oil palm plantation workers.
Moreover, the physical guarantee of that loan is the plantation areas that are currently being developed. If in the future the credit turns into bad and the bank conduct the foreclosures, the people own of the land will suffer from two great losses.
The first loss is that they loss their income and livelihood because plantation development has failed, while the second loss arising from people's land that was eventually confiscated by the bank for a loan guarantee.
Therefore, the Commission (KPK) must act quickly, and make this as a priority considering the potential financial losses are very big country and far beyond the limits of investigation under the authority of the Commission which is only Rp 1 billion.
They also requested the Commission (KPK) to also see the detail quality of work in the plantation development done by company, whether or not it is in conformity with what had been promised. "Regarding the provision of seeds, for example, it has to be seen whether the seeds provided are actually in the quality and price as agreed upon," said Ahmad Dede Kurnia.

The planting of commercial seeds in the field was conducted in December 2008. Until the end of December 2008, 101,250 seeds or 750 Ha has been planted. The seeds planting were targeted to be finished in August 2009; however it is known that until know it has not been finished.

Solahuddin revealed that his office had actually heard that problem a long time. However, officially, no one report this matter.

It is necessary to conduct investigation again, and we're going to call the PT AUS and BPD Kaltim as soon as possible. It must be avoided that a good program from the government turn into failure, he said. (AY)

KPK will Investigate the Problematic Bank of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) to a company PT Anugerah Urea Sakti in Muara Kaman






One of the suspected unhealthy banking practices is the problematic credit channeling by BPD of East Kalimantan.

The performance of Regional Development Bank (BPD) was continuously highlighted by various parties. The reason is that many illegal deposits practices occur from some BPD to officials at the provincial and district levels in various regions. The spokesman of NGO Transparansi Otonomi Daerah (Transoda), Ahmad Dede Kurniawan said one of the suspected unhealthy banking practices is the problematic credit channeling by BPD of East Kalimantan (Kaltim) to a company PT Anugerah Urea Sakti in Kaltim.

Ahmad said that legally, the party applying for a loan was indeed a community cooperative as plasma farmer. However, the corporate guarantor was PT AUS. The fact was that PT AUS also manages and uses the credit funds. Therefore, it can be said that the substantial creditor is PT AUS,” he explained.

The credit was worth around Rp 219 billion which is realized in July 2009 for the purposes of development and management of community’s oil palm plasma plantations in the area of 3,000 hectares in Kutai Kartanegara.

There was an allegation that the credit funds were not used for the development and management of oil palm plantations plasma belongs to the people. Ahmad said that this allegation comes after seeing a very slow process of plantation development.

He said that almost all plantation development schedule starting from land clearing, construction of roads, construction of drainage until seeding time deviated from the limit that have previously set. If in the end the people's plantation development fails then most likely the loans of PT AUS will be bad and that means financial losses have led to the state.

And that's not just the problem. If the people’s plantation development by PT AUS fails then it will surely cause the loss for the local people as the owners and possibly also as oil palm plantation workers.

Moreover, the physical guarantee of that loan is the plantation areas that are currently being developed, said Ahmad. If in the future the credit turns into bad and the bank conduct the foreclosures, the people own of the land will suffer from two great losses.

From this allegation, Ahmad request Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to investigate this case in detail. He hoped that KPK does not passively wait for the credit of PT AUS becoming bad then act on it.

"Without having to wait for PT AUS bad credit, elements of corruption has been fulfilled if absolutely verifiable credit disbursed funds were not used for plantation development," he added.

That is, Ahmad added, in accordance with the mandate of Article 4 of Law Number 30 of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), year 2002 which said that the Commission was formed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of efforts to eradicate corruption. "Therefore, the Commission must act quickly to investigate suspected cases of this problematic loan," he said.

Abuses conducted by BPD clearly does present a question, the extent to which BI supervise regional banks. Unfortunately, Director of the Directorate of Law of BI, Ahmad Fuad did not pick up the phone when confirmed by Hukumonline.

KPK Usut Kredit Bermasalah PT Anugerah Urea Sakti di Bank KALTIM


NERACA

Potret Bank Pembangunan Daerah (BPD) kembali menjadi sorotan. Setelah hingar-bingar praktek setoran ilegal dari beberapa BPD kepada pejabat di tingkat provinsi dan kabupaten di berbagai daerah, kini menyangkut penyaluran kredit yang diduga bermasalah. Adalah juru bicara LSM Tranparansi Otonomi Daerah (Transoda) Ahmad Dede Kurniawan yang mengungkapkan salah satu dugaan praktek perbankan tak sehat berupa penyaluran kredit yang diduga bermasalah oleh BPD Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim) ke sebuah perusahaan berinisial PT AUS di Kaltim.

Dikatakan Ahmad, secara legal memang pihak yang mengajukan kredit adalah koperasi masyarakat sebagai petani plasma. Akan tetapi yang menjadi penjamin korporat adalah PT AUS. Faktanya, PT AUS pula yang mengelola dan menggunakan dana kre-
dit tersebut. "Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa kreditor substansial adalah PT AUS," ujarnya.

Kredit tersebut bernilai sekitar Rp219 miliar yang direalisasikan bulan juli 2009 untuk keperluan pembangunan dan pengelolaan perkebunan plasma kelapa sawit milik rakyat seluas 3.000 hektar di Kutai Kartanegara.

Ada dugaan dan kredit tersebut temyata tidak digunakan untuk pembangunan dan pengelolaan kelapa sawit milik rakyat. Dugaan itu, kata Ahmad, muncul setelah melihat sangat lambannya proses pembangunan perkebunan.

Menurutnya, hampir semua jadwal tahapan pembangunan perkebunan mulai dari pembersihan lahan (land clearing), pembangunan jalan-jalan, pembangunan drainase sampai pembibitan melenceng dari batas waktu yang telah ditetapkan sebelumnya. Jika pada akhirnya pembangun-
an tersebut gagal, kemungkinan besar kredit PT AUS itu akan menjadi macet yang berarti menimbulkan kerugian bagi dan negara.

Bukan itu saja. Jika pembangunan perkebunan rakyat oleh PT AUS gagal maka dipastikan akan menimbulkan kerugian bagi rakyat setempat sebagai pemilik dan kemungkinan juga sebagai pekerja perkebunan kelapa sawit. "Terlebih jaminan fisik kredit tersebut adalah lahan-lahan kebun yang sedang dibangun," ucap Ahmad. Bila kelak kredit menjadi macet dan pihak bank melakukan penyitaan jaminan,
maka rakyat pemilik lahan akan mengalami dua kali kerugian.

Atas dugaan itu, Ahmad meminta Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) menyelidiki kasus ini secara detail. Dia berharap KPK tidak bisa pasif menunggu kredit PT AUS macet terlebih dahulu baru kemudian bertindak. "Tanpa harus menunggu kredit PT AUS macet, unsur-unsur tindak pidana korupsi sudah terpenuhi jika benar-benar dapat dibuktikan dana kredit yang dikucurkan temyata tidak digunakan untuk keperluan pembangunan perkebunan," tambahnya.

Hal itu, sambung Ahmad, sesuai dengan amanat Pasal 4 Undang-Undang KPK Nomor 30 Tahun 2002 yang mengatakan KPK dibentuk untuk meningkatkan daya guna dan hasil guna upaya pemberantasan tindak pidana korupsi. "Oleh sebab itu, KPK harus bertindak cepat mengusut kasus dugaan kredit bermasalah ini," tuturnya, /nn

KPK Diminta Selidiki Kredit Bermasalah PT Anugerah urea Sakti di BPD Kaltim










(Johan Budi dalam keterangan Persnya mengenai Bank kaltim)

Salah satu dugaan praktek perbankan tak sehat adalah penyaluran kredit yang diduga bermasalah oleh BPD Kalimantan Timur.


Kinerja Bank Pembangunan Daerah (BPD) saat ini terus disorot berbagai pihak. Pasalnya, banyak terjadi praktek setoran ilegal dari beberapa BPD kepada pejabat di tingkat provinsi dan kabupaten di berbagai daerah. Juru bicara LSM Tranparansi Otonomi Daerah (Transoda), Ahmad Dede Kurniawan mengatakan salah satu dugaan praktek perbankan tak sehat adalah penyaluran kredit yang diduga bermasalah oleh BPD Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim) ke sebuah perusahaan berinisial PT AUS di Kaltim.

Dikatakan Ahmad, secara legal memang pihak yang mengajukan kredit adalah koperasi masyarakat sebagai petani plasma. Akan tetapi yang menjadi penjamin korporat adalah PT AUS. Faktanya, PT AUS pula yang mengelola dan menggunakan dana kredit tersebut. “Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa kreditor substansial adalah PT AUS,” ujarnya.



Kredit tersebut bernilai sekitar Rp219 miliar yang direalisasikan bulan Juli 2009 untuk keperluan pembangunan dan pengelolaan perkebunan plasma kelapa sawit milik rakyat seluas 3.000 hektar di Kutai Kartanegara.



Ada dugaan dan kredit tersebut ternyata tidak digunakan untuk pembangunan dan pengelolaan kelapa sawit milik rakyat. Dugaan itu, kata ahmad, muncul setelah melihat sangat lambannya proses pembangunan perkebunan.



Menurutnya, hampir semua jadwal tahapan pembangunan perkebunan mulai dari pembersihan lahan (land clearing), pembangunan jalan-jalan, pembangunan drainase sampai pembibitan melenceng dari batas waktu yang telah ditetapkan sebelumnya. Jika pada akhirnya pembangunan tersebut gagal, kemungkinan besar kredit PT AUS itu akan menjadi macet yang berarti menimbulkan kerugian bagi dan negara.



Bukan itu saja. Jika pembangunan perkebunan rakyat oleh PT AUS gagal maka dipastikan akan menimbulkan kerugian bagi rakyat setempat sebagai pemilik dan kemungkinan juga sebagai pekerja perkebunan kelapa sawit.



“Terlebih jaminan fisik kredit tersebut adalah lahan-lahan kebun yang sedang dibangun,” ucap Ahmad. Bila kelak kredit menjadi macet dan pihak bank melakukan penyitaan jaminan, maka rakyat pemilik lahan akan mengalami dua kali kerugian.



Atas dugaan itu, Ahmad meminta Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) menyelidiki kasus ini secara detail. Dia berharap KPK tidak bisa pasif menunggu kredit PT AUS macet terlebih dahulu baru kemudian bertindak.

Penyelewengan yang dilakukan BPD jelas menghadirkan pertanyaan, sejauh mana pengawasan BI terhadap bank-bank daerah. Sayangnya, Direktur Direktorat Hukum BI, Ahmad Fuad tak mengangkat ponselnya ketika dikonfirmasi hukumonline.
