JAKARTA - The wife of former South Sumatra Governor Alex Noerdin, Sri Eliza, has remained silent after being questioned by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). He was examined as a witness regarding the alleged receipt of infrastructure bribes in the Musi Banyuasin Regency which ensnared his son, Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin.

When he left the KPK's Red and White building, he refused to tell what investigators were investigating. Eliza was examined for approximately six hours.

"I don't know (how many questions, red)," he said as he rushed to avoid reporters, Tuesday, December 7.

He was also reluctant to explain the reason why the Musi Banyuasin Regent was inactive, Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin, with Rp. 1.5 billion in cash when he was caught in a red-handed operation (OTT) some time ago.

Eliza prefers to hurry to the white minibus that was waiting for her outside the building. Regarding today's examination, the KPK has not issued any statement.

As previously reported, the determination of Dodi as a suspect began with a hand arrest operation (OTT).

In that case, the KPK also named three other people as suspects, namely the Head of PUPR District of 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.

The KPK suspects that Dodi has committed fraudulent practices by manipulating a number of lists, including making a list of prospective partners who will carry out project work whose budget comes from the APBD-P for the 2021 Fiscal Year and provincial financial assistance, including the PUPR Office of the Musi Banyuasin Regency.

In addition, he apparently 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 Rp. 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 part of the money given through his subordinates, namely Herman and Eddi.
