The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has outlined the chain of\ncommand given by Muara Enim Regent Edison to employees at the Education\nand Culture Department (Disdikbud) in the bribery case that has ensnared\nhim. The KPK revealed that Regent Edison ordered the Secretary of the\nMuara Enim Regency Disdikbud, Abi Nurwardani (ABN), to create bank\naccounts under the names of third parties or nominees from a number of\nlocal government employees to hold bribe money.<\/p>\n

\u201cEdison, as the Regent of Muara Enim, ordered ABN to disguise the\nflow of funds from contractors. The parties used a method of opening and\nclosing nominee accounts or through cash deposits from contractors\nwithin the Muara Enim Regency Government,\u201d said KPK Director of\nInvestigation Achmad Taufik Husein during a press conference at the\nKPK\u2019s Merah Putih building in Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Tuesday\n(9\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n

Taufik explained that Abi subsequently allegedly became the operator\nof these nominee accounts. Furthermore, Abi also distributed the\nproceeds from the smart board procurement bribery to several parties,\nincluding Regent Edison.<\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding these nominee accounts, ABN acted as the account\ncontroller. ABN is suspected of distributing the flow of money,\u201d Taufik\nclarified.<\/p>\n

Taufik also explained that Abi received bribe money from the\nmarketing representative of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi (MSA), suspect\nCory Erin Hardi (CRH). PT MSA is the smart board supplier to PT My Icon\nTechnology (MIT), which secured the procurement project at the Muara\nEnim Regency Government\u2019s Disdikbud for the 2025 Fiscal Year.<\/p>\n

\u201cABN, as the Secretary of the Education and Culture Department,\nreceived cash amounting to Rp 500 million from CRH. This receipt from\nthe private party is suspected to be related to previous procurements,\u201d\nTaufik stated.<\/p>\n

Taufik said the money was given by Cory to Abi to \u2018maintain good\nrelations going forward\u2019. The hope was that the cooperation between PT\nMSA and the Muara Enim Regency Government could continue to run\nsmoothly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBehind this payment, there was an intent and purpose, so that the\nprivate party could maintain \u2018good relations going forward\u2019 with the\nregional government, enabling them to win future regional projects\nagain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The four parties who have been named as suspects in this case\nare:<\/p>\n

    \n

  1. Muara Enim Regent - Edison<\/p><\/li>\n

  2. Secretary of the Education and Culture Department for 2026 - Abi\nNurwardani<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. The Regent\u2019s nephew - Adi Triyadi<\/p><\/li>\n

  4. Marketing representative of PT Millenium Solusi Abadi - Cory Erin\nHardi<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The KPK has charged Edison and Abi under Article 12 letter a and\/or\nArticle 12 letter b and\/or Article 12B of Law Number 31 of 1999\nconcerning the Eradication of Corruption.<\/p>\n
