JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination of the wife of the inactive Musi Banyuasin Regent Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin, Erini Mutia Yufada. He will be examined as a witness to complete the file belonging to the suspect, the Head of PUPR, Musi Banyuasin Regency, Herman Mayori et al.

"The investigative team has scheduled the summons of witness Erini Mutia Yufada, the private sector or the wife of the Regent Musi Banyuasin," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Affairs Ali Fikri told reporters, Monday, October 25.

It is not yet known what examination material will be asked to Erini. However, the KPK is currently focusing on investigating the alleged bribery of infrastructure that ensnared Dodi Alex Noerdin and a number of his subordinates.

Previously reported, the KPK named Musi Banyuasin Regent Dodi Reza Alex Noerdin as a suspect in the alleged bribery of infrastructure projects.

Not only Dodi, three other people were also named as suspects, namely the Head of 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.

During the silent operation, the KPK also recovered Rp. 270 million and Rp. 1.5 billion from Dodi's aide in Jakarta.

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said Dodi had carried out impudent practices by manipulating a number of lists, including making a list of potential partners who would carry out project work whose budget came from the APBD-P for the 2021 Fiscal Year and provincial financial assistance, including the PUPR Office of the 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 Rp. 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.
