JAKARTA - The former governor of South Sumatra, Syahrial Oesman, is facing a jail term of four years over alleged corruption of 5 billion Rupiah (350,000 euro). He has allegedly channeled money to members of the House of Representatives. "We demand the board of judges to convict defendant Syahrial Oesman in this corruption crime," said Zet Tadungallo, a member of the corruption watchdog KPK team of prosecutors.
The prosecutors also demanded that he would pay a fine of 200 million Rupiah (14,000 euro) or an additional jail term of four months. Syahrial is accused of approving channeling money to a forestry commission from the House of Representatives. This money should accelerate any decision to turn some 600 hectares of now forested ares into a port and business estate.
The money was paid to the commission in two installments in October 2006 and June 2007. The provincial government, under Syahrial Oesman, was to construct a seaport in Tanjung Api-Api as well as a business area.
