Lukas Enembe (27 July 1967 – 26 December 2023) was an Indonesian politician from West Papua, who served as the 13th Governor of Papua Province from April 2013 to January 2023. He had previously served as Regent of Puncak Jaya Regency between 2007 and 2012, and Vice Regent of the same regency from 2001 until 2006.
In September 2017, Enembe was called on by the Corruption Eradication Commission as a suspect in a graft case, and later he was named as a witness in a graft case involving misappropriation of scholarship funds in Papua. Five years later, in September 2022, the Corruption Eradication Commission reported that Enembe was a suspect for misappropriation of government funds as he had spent the money in casinos in Singapore and Australia.
In January 2023, he was arrested by the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission.
Early life and education, and early career
Lukas Enembe was born Lomato Enembe on 27 July 1967 in Kampung Mamit, Kembu District in what is now Tolikara Regency, to Tagolenggawak Enembe (father) and Deyaknobukwe Enumbi (mother). He spent his childhood in Tolikara, including his elementary school years; he studied at YPPGI Elementary School in Kampung Mamit and graduated in 1980. It was during his years in YPPGI Elementary that young Lomato began to be known as Lukas; he was frequently called Lukas by his teacher and friends, and the name was used ever since.{{Cite web|url=https://kompaspedia.kompas.id/baca/profil/tokoh/gubernur-papua-lukas-enembe|title=Lukas Enembe|date=3 August 2021|access-date=5 October 2021|archive-date=5 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211005150351/https://kompaspedia.kompas.id/baca/profil/tokoh/gubernur-papua-lukas-enembe|url-status=live}} He was a member of the Lani{{cite news | last=Arifianto | first=Danu | title=Tokoh gereja papua ingatkan tindakan korupsi bertentangan dengan hukum negara dan tuhan | work=rm.id | date=2022-11-17 | url=https://rm.id/baca-berita/nasional/149131/tokoh-gereja-papua-ingatkan-tindakan-korupsi-bertentangan-dengan-hukum-negara-dan-tuhan/2 | access-date=2024-02-01}} who inhabit Toli Valley in Highland Papua.{{Cite web |last=Kogoya |first=Yamin |date=September 24, 2022 |title=Fate of Papua's Governor Enembe – the 'son of Koteka' – lies in balance amid allegations |url=https://asiapacificreport.nz/2022/09/24/fate-of-papuas-governor-enembe-the-son-of-koteka-lies-in-balance-amid-allegations/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005234339/https://asiapacificreport.nz/2022/09/24/fate-of-papuas-governor-enembe-the-son-of-koteka-lies-in-balance-amid-allegations/ |archive-date=5 October 2022 |access-date=2022-10-01 |website=Asia Pacific Report |language=en-US}}
Originally after graduating elementary school, Lukas attempted to enroll in a junior high school in Mulia, Puncak Jaya Regency, where his mother came from; the plan was to find a relative from his mother's side to live with until he finished junior high school. Enembe could not find any of his mother's relatives; he then moved to Sentani, Jayapura Regency, to study in what is now SMP Negeri 1 Sentani (Sentani 1st State Junior High School) from 1980 until 1983. Immediately afterwards, he continued to study in SMA Negeri 3 Sentani (Sentani 3rd State Junior High School) and graduated in 1986.{{Cite web|url=https://www.suara.com/news/2021/04/04/113944/profil-lukas-enembe-dideportasi-dari-papua-nugini-akibat-illegal-stay?page=all|title=Profil Lukas Enembe, Dideportasi dari Papua Nugini Akibat Illegal Stay|date=4 April 2021|access-date=5 October 2021|archive-date=5 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211005150352/https://www.suara.com/news/2021/04/04/113944/profil-lukas-enembe-dideportasi-dari-papua-nugini-akibat-illegal-stay?page=all|url-status=live}} He then enrolled at Sam Ratulangi University in Sulawesi, studying political science. Enembe returned to Papua in 1995, and was accepted as a civil servant in 1996. He unsuccessfully tried to become a lecturer at Cenderawasih University in Jayapura, and later accepted an offer as a civil servant in Merauke Regency, Papua. From 1998 to 2001, Enembe studied at Cornerstone Christian College in New South Wales, Australia, having been sent there by a missionary agency.
Political career
In 2001, Enembe unsuccessfully participated in the election to become regent of Puncak Jaya Regency. From 2001 to 2006 he served as Vice Regent of Puncak Jaya Regency alongside Elieser Renmaur. In 2006 he was elected to the chair of the local Papuan division of the Indonesian Democratic Party. Also in 2006 he unsuccessfully ran for the office of governor of Papua Province, initially with Muhammad Musa'ad, however Musa'ad was disqualified because of his ancestry. This decision sparked protests from his supporters, who alleged that the incumbent governor, J.P. Solossa, had influenced the assembly's decision in order to prevent Musa'ad from attracting Papuan Muslim voters in the election. Chaos ensued in the following days, with his supporters attacking the General Elections Commission as well threatening to burn down the assembly's office. Officials from the central government warned the assembly that it might overstep from its authority as a cultural advisory body. Musa'ad later found Arobi Ahmad Aituarauw, a Muslim banker and former senate candidate, part of Kaimana aristocracy, who agreed to replace him after no other replacement was found. Protests soon ceased after Enembe declared Aituarauw as his running mate.{{Cite journal |last=Group |first=International Crisis |date=23 March 2006 |title=Papua: The Dangers of Shutting Down Dialogue |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep43823 |journal=International Crisis Group |pages=8–9}}{{Cite journal |last=Mietzner |first=Marcus |date=October 2007 |title=Local Elections and Autonomy in Papua and Aceh: Mitigating or Fueling Secessionism? |url=https://ecommons.cornell.edu/handle/1813/54416 |journal=Indonesia |volume=84 |issue=84 |pages=9–13}} In 2007, he was elected as the regent of Puncak Jaya Regency.

Embezzlement allegations
In September 2017, Enembe was called on by the Corruption Eradication Commission as a suspect in a graft case; supporters of Enembe protested at the National Human Rights Commission, claiming that the issue was politicized due to the 2018 gubernatorial election in Papua.{{Cite web |last=Isidorus |first=Robert |date=19 September 2017 |title=Ribuan Pendukung Minta Kriminalisasi Lukas Enembe Dihentikan |url=https://www.beritasatu.com/news/453484/ribuan-pendukung-minta-kriminalisasi-lukas-enembe-dihentikan |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=beritasatu.com |language=id}} The Commission later named Enembe as a witness in a graft case involving misappropriation of scholarship funds in Papua, and Enembe met with the Commission face-to-face to clarify his wealth report.{{Cite web |last=Kahfi |first=Kharishar |date=October 5, 2017 |title=Papua governor clarifies wealth report to KPK |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/10/05/papua-governor-clarifies-wealth-report-to-kpk.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191128075612/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/10/05/papua-governor-clarifies-wealth-report-to-kpk.html |archive-date=28 November 2019 |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=The Jakarta Post |language=en}}
In September 2022, it was reported that Enembe was under investigation by Indonesia's Anti-Corruption Commission for allegedly since 2017 having misappropriated 560 billion rupiah (approximately $56 million AUD) of state funds, reportedly spending a significant proportion of the money at casinos in Singapore and Australia. Enembe's reported official salary was less than AUD$1,000 (approximately 10 million rupiah) a month. Enembe denied the charges, claiming that they were politically motivated due to his membership in the Democratic Party.{{Cite news |last=Barker |first=Anne |date=2022-09-28 |title=Explosive corruption allegations engulfing Indonesian provincial governor spread to Australian casino |language=en-AU |work=ABC News |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-29/indonesia-lukas-enembe-corruption-scandal-spreads-to-australia/101468024 |url-status=live |access-date=2022-10-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230109002639/https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-09-29/indonesia-lukas-enembe-corruption-scandal-spreads-to-australia/101468024 |archive-date=9 January 2023}} Enembe was declared as a suspect in the case, instead of merely a witness by the Corruption Eradication Commission.{{Cite web |last=Kamil |first=Irfan |date=2022-09-15 |editor-last=Prabowo |editor-first=Dani |title=KPK Harap Masyarakat Papua Dukung Penegakan Hukum Gubernur Lukas Enembe |url=https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2022/09/15/09301671/kpk-harap-masyarakat-papua-dukung-penegakan-hukum-gubernur-lukas-enembe |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220919063859/https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2022/09/15/09301671/kpk-harap-masyarakat-papua-dukung-penegakan-hukum-gubernur-lukas-enembe |archive-date=19 September 2022 |access-date=2023-01-10 |website=KOMPAS.com |language=id}}
