North Maluku Governor Sherly Tjoanda Reported to KPK, Alleged Corruption in Rp8.8 Billion Project

North Maluku Governor Sherly Tjoanda Reported to KPK, Alleged Corruption in Rp8.8 Billion Project

The Anti-Corruption Militia Movement (GALAK) reported North Maluku Governor Sherly Tjoanda to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Wednesday (8/5/2026). The report involves alleged corruption, collusion, and nepotism in managing development projects worth over Rp8.8 billion, including the Governor's Official Residence, the People's Palace, and guard posts. GALAK director Muslim Arbi presented initial evidence like the 2025 BPK Audit Report and Governor Regulation No. 31 of 2025. The BPK report noted that the regulation refers to Presidential Decree No. 16 of 2020, which has been revoked, creating legality issues. GALAK urged the KPK to review the report and escalate it to an investigation if sufficient preliminary evidence is found. There’s been no official statement yet from Governor Sherly Tjoanda or the North Maluku provincial government, and the right of reply remains open. https://www.gelora.co/2026/08/gubernur-malut-sherly-tjoanda.html

It's already an open secret, a lot of projects in the regions aren't transparent. I hope this report doesn't just become something that's brushed aside.

Poor people of Malut, their money being used for all the wrong things. As a Muslim, corruption is a major sin, hope there’ll be some real deterrent effect.

If there really is strong evidence, don’t go halfway. The KPK needs to have the guts to investigate it all the way to the end.

Whoa, if that much money really was stolen, it totally makes sense why development in the regions has been so slow. Hopefully the KPK actually takes this seriously.
