Jakarta – Former deputy financial director at the problematic firm Permai Group, Yulianis, revealed the names of a number of lawmakers who she says were involved in "schemes" benefiting the company owned by graft convict Muhammad Nasaruddin.
In her testimony before the Corruption Court with former lawmaker Angelina Sondakh as defendant on Tuesday, Yulianis mentioned the names I Wayan Koster, a lawmaker from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Azis Syamsuddin and Zulkarnaen Djabar from the Golkar Party.
Those people, according to Yulianis, often attended internal meetings [with the company officials] related to projects the company was eyeing.
She also mentioned lawmakers from Commission VIII overseeing religious affairs, Abdul Kadir Karding from the National Awakening party, Said Abdullah from PDI-P, and deputy head of the budgetary commission Olly Dondokambey, also from PDI-P.
She accused those people of being involved in conspiracy to benefit the firm in attaining projects in the Attorney General's Office and the Religious Affairs Ministry.
Yulianis could not recall a name of the lawmaker from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) whom she said was involved in a project with the Health Ministry, kompas.com reported on Thursday.
As former Permai Group's financial director, Yulianis is a key witness with regards to the company's cash flow.
Angelina herself stands trial for allegedly having received kickbacks from Nazaruddin's company for the construction of SEA Games athletes village in South Sumatra and a project with the Education and Culture Ministry.(iwa)
