Chairman of the Election Winning Body (Bappilu) of the Democratic Party Andi Arief denied any money from former North Penajam Paser Regent Abdul Gafur Ma'sud to the Regional Conference (Musda) of the East Kalimantan Democratic Party. Andi claimed not to know about the flow.

This was conveyed before entering the KPK's Red and White building, Monday, June 19. Andi was examined as a witness to the alleged corruption in the capital investment that ensnared Abdul Gafur.

"Nothing going to the Musda, nothing," Andi told reporters.

Andi believes the money called the anti-corruption commission is for Abdul Gafur's personal interests in the activity. So he interfered.

"I don't know about my personal interests. His name is also personal," he said.

Previously, Abdul Gafur, President Director of Perumda Benuo Taka, Heriyanto; Director of Perumda Benuo Taka Energi, Baharun Genda; and Head of Finance Section of Perumda Benuo Taka, Karim Abidin was named a suspect in alleged corruption in capital investment in North Penajam Paser Regency. This is the development of the bribery, gratification and money laundering cases that ensnared him.

In this case, Abdul Gafur cost the state up to Rp14.4 billion for providing capital without a complete study basis. As a result, the budget post was prepared fictitiously.

He was then suspected of receiving Rp6 billion from the capital participation. The money was used to rent private jets, rent helicopters, and fund support for the Regional Conference of the East Kalimantan Democratic Party.
