JAKARTA - The trusted person of the inactive Langkat Regent, Terbit Muara Warin Angin, is said to have asked contractors who have not completed the work to receive full payment.

"The work is still 30 percent, only the contract period has expired, but I was asked to be paid 100 percent, the request was from Marcos," said Head of the Planning Section of the Langkat Regency Public Works and Spatial Planning Agency Muhammad Irfandi in a trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court. , Monday, April 25.

Irfandi was a witness for the Director of CV Nizhami Muara Warin Angin who was charged with bribing the Langkat Regent to issue a Wind War Plan amounting to Rp.572 million in working on a work package at the Public Works and Spatial Planning Service (PUPR) and the Langkat District Education Office in 2021.

The Marcos in question is part of the "Kuala Group" which is the confidant of Terbit Plan Warin Angin as the Regent of Langkat, which consists of Iskandar Warin Angin, Marcos Surya Abdi, Shuhanda Citra, and Isfi Syahfitra.

"Kuala Group" is in charge of managing tenders for the procurement of goods and services in Langkat Regency. The group was led by Iskandar Warin Angin as well as the Head of Raja Tengah Village, Kuala Sub-district, who is the brother of Terbit Angin Angin Plan.

"At that time I was asked to make a report. I waited until December 31, 2021, but it wasn't finished yet. I was threatened to pay everything even though it was still 30 percent of the work," said Irfandi, who is also the Commitment Making Officer (PPK) for the Langkat Regency PUPR Service. .

"Does this request occur frequently?" asked the Public Prosecutor (JPU) of the KPK.

"Often with Pak Marcos, in 2021 the worst," answered Irfandi.

Irfandi, who has been assigned to the PUPR Service since 2019, also admitted that he used to get orders to follow the directions of the Regent to issue a War Plan.

"My PPK friends and I at the PUPR Service are usually given directions 'These jobs belong to Mr. Terbit Plan to Warn the winds', and my friends and I were asked to help, that was the direction of the Head of the Head of Office at the meeting," said Irfandi.

The head of the ministry in question in 2021 is Sujarno who will become the Acting Head of the PUPR department.

Irfandi also said that tenders are often delayed, because they have to wait for a list of potential winning companies.

"Actually, the tender documents are ready, but I am waiting for the order from the Head of the Office for the bidding documents, but he said that Mr. Kadis was 'not ready', it was a list of prospective brides and grooms," said Irfandi.

The "bride list" in question is a list of work packages at the Langkat Regency PUPR Service and the budget ceiling as well as the names of companies that will work on the package whose determination is made by "Palace Representatives" namely Iskandar Warin Angin.

"The bridal list contains this package, who worked on his CV. I know that it was also from the contractor who contacted me as a PPK, because he was looking for me, he said there was an appointment and my PPK," said Irfandi as well.

Irfandi also admitted that he knew there was a "fee" that contractors had to pay to get the project.

"In your BAP you said there was a deposit of 16.5 percent for direct appointments and 15.5 percent for tenders, is this true?" asked the prosecutor.

"Yes, about that," replied Irfandi.
