JAKARTA - Investigators from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) are investigating the alleged arrangement of project winners in the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government. This was done by examining seven witnesses related to the alleged bribery in the procurement of goods and services involving the inactive Musi Banyuasin Regent Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin.

The seven witnesses were examined at the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government Office on Tuesday, November 2. They were examined as witnesses for the suspect Suhandy, who is the Director of PT Selaras Simpati Nusantara.

The seven witnesses are civil servants at the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government. They are Danang Eko Suwandi, Wedyanto, Sandey, Hendra, Hazabirin, Hardiansyah and Suhendro.

"All witnesses were present and confirmed, among others, related to several work projects carried out by the suspect SUH at the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government and the alleged arrangement in winning the company suspected of SUH to work on the project," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Wednesday. , November 3rd.

As previously reported, the KPK has named Alex Noerdin's son, Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin, a suspect in the bribery case for infrastructure procurement, which began with a hand arrest operation (OTT).

He was named a suspect along with three other people, namely the Head of PUPR District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, Herman Mayori; Head of SDA/PPK Department of PUPR, Musi Banyuasin Regency, Eddi Umari; and Director of PT Selaras Simpati Nusantara Suhandy.

In this case, Dodi did a preposterous practice by engineering a number of lists, including making a list of potential partners who will carry out project work whose budget comes from the 2021 Fiscal Year APBD-P and provincial financial assistance, including the PUPR Office of Musi Banyuasin Regency.

In addition, it turns out that he has determined the percentage of the fee for each project value with details of 10 percent for him, 3-5 percent for Herman, and 2-3 percent for Eddi and other related parties.

As a result of this impudent practice, the company owned by Suhandy, namely PT Selaras Simpati Nusantara, was declared the winner of the four development projects. The project is the rehabilitation of the Ngulak III Irrigation Area (IDPMIP) in Ngulak III Village, Kec. Sanga with a contract value of IDR 2.39 billion; an increase in the DIR Epil irrigation network with a contract value of IDR 4.3 billion; improvement of irrigation network of DIR Muara Teladan with a contract value of Rp. 3.3 billion; normalization of Ulak Ria Lake, Sekayu District with a contract value of IDR 9.9 billion.

Dodi is expected to receive a commitment fee of Rp. 2.6 billion from Suhandy. However, when the OTT was carried out, he only received some of the money given through his subordinates, namely Herman and Eddi.
