JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) examined the aide to the inactive Musi Banyuasin Regent Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin, Mursyid on Tuesday, December 7. He was examined as a witness related to the alleged receipt of bribes related to the procurement of goods and services at the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government.

During the examination, investigators questioned Mursyid with a number of questions. Including the alleged flow of money to Dodi Reza from the private sector in the form of project fees.

"Mursyid, an aide to the Regent of Musi Banyuasin, was present and confirmed, among other things, regarding the alleged flow of money from several private parties as a form of project fee for the suspect DRA et al," said Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Sector Ali Fikri to reporters, Wednesday, December 8.

In this case, Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin is a suspect in the alleged bribery in infrastructure procurement. He was named a suspect along with three other people, namely the Head of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), 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.

He carried out 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 Budget-P 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 fraud, 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 IDR 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 IDR 2.6 billion from Suhandy. However, when the Arrest Operation (OTT) was carried out, he only received some of the money given through his subordinates, namely Herman and Eddi.
