JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Another denial comes from leader of President SBY’s Democratic Party over another corruption allegation in a construction project of the new building from the House of Representatives (DPR) worth Rp1.16 trillion.
Marzuki Alie, Democratic Party leader, denied corruption allegation. Tempo magazine reported Marzuki received Rp250 million from state-owned construction firm PT Adhi Karya Tbk. The House Speaker has sent a letter to Tempo for protesting their report.
The latest edition of Tempo magazine published on Monday (Nov. 11), revealed about the flow of funds from PT Adhi Karya to several lawmakers, including Marzuki Alie. Those flow of funds were aimed to secure the project tender for the construction of the new Parliament’s building back in 2010 to 2011.
