The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named Papua Governor Lukas Enembe as a corruption suspect in mid-September 2022.

Lukas Enembe is a suspect in an alleged case of gratification or bribery related to licensing and procurement of goods and services for infrastructure development.

The procurement budget came from the Papua Provincial Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD), which includes special autonomy funds (otsus).

Since 2017, the government has disbursed more than Rp 11 trillion per year to provinces in Papua, with details as shown in the graph. This budget consists of special autonomy funds and infrastructure assistance funds.

For the 2022 outlook, the government allocated Rp 8.5 trillion in special autonomy funds (otsus) and Rp 4.37 trillion in additional infrastructure funds for provinces in the Papua region. In total, the budget for Papua reached Rp 12.88 trillion, an increase of Rp 949.2 billion compared to the previous year's realization of Rp 11.93 trillion.

In the 2023 State Budget (RAPBN), the government further increased the additional budget for Papua by Rp 405 billion (3.15%) from the 2022 outlook.

The large amount of government funds disbursed to Papua is suspected to have been largely misused. This is reflected in the numerous officials from Papua who have had dealings with the KPK.

Starting in 2022, the central government approved the creation of new provinces in Papua. Papua now has 5 provinces:

* West Papua Province (Capital: Manokwari)
* Papua Province (Capital: Jayapura)
* Central Papua Province (Capital: Timika)
* Highland Papua Province (Capital: Wamena)
* South Papua Province (Capital: Merauke)
