JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has scheduled an examination session on Thursday (Apr. 16) over Alex Noerdin, South Sumatra Governor and politician from Golkar Party, related to further investigation into a graft case of athlete dormitory project.
KPK’s Spokesperson Priharsa Nugraha said Alex will be questioned as a witness for Rizal Abdullah, former Head of South Sumatra’s Public Works office and suspect in the case.
This is the second call from KPK to Alex. The Governor earlier failed to answer KPK’s first call for questioning session on Mar. 24, 2015.
According to KPK’s indictment against El Idris, former convict in the case, Rizal Abdullah is one of those who had received fees from the athlete dormitory project.
The indictment also mentions Idris’ confession about PT Duta Graha Indah’s (DGI) plan to give a 2.5% fee from the total Rp191 billion fund of the athlete dormitory’s construction project to Alex Noerdin. PT DGI is the winner of the
project tender.
Alex, however, has denied all allegations against him related to the athlete dormitory case, including allegation on receiving fee from El Idris or PT DGI. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
