KPK: Husband and Son of Pekalongan Regent Benefited From Proceeds of Corruption Case
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has named Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq as a suspect in a case of alleged corruption for her involvement in procurement projects at the Pekalongan Regency Government. The KPK disclosed that funds from the alleged corruption case are believed to have been enjoyed by Fadia’s family.
This was conveyed by KPK Deputy for Enforcement and Execution Asep Guntur Rahayu at a press conference at the KPK building in Jalan Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, on Wednesday 4 March 2026.
Asep said Fadia’s husband, Mukhtaruddin Ashraff Abu, who also serves as a Pekalongan Regional Council member, founded a company named PT Raja Nusantara Berjaya with their son, Muhammad Sabiq Ashraff. The company operates in the field of service provision and has been an active vendor for the Pekalongan Regency Government.
KPK said Ashraff was the Commissioner of PT RNB, while Sabiq was the director from 2022 to 2024. Asep said Fadia replaced Sabiq in the director position with Rul Bayatun, who is a trusted ally.
“Meanwhile, FAR (Fadia Arafiq), who served as Pekalongan Regent, is the beneficiary/beneficial owner (BO) of PT RNB,” said Asep.
Asep said most PT RNB employees were Fadia’s campaign team. From 2023 to 2026, PT RNB reportedly secured outsourcing service procurement contracts across several Pekalongan Regency agencies.
Fadia and her children allegedly intervened with department heads to ensure PT RNB won outsourcing contracts across several departments, districts, and the regional general hospital. The regional apparatus were asked to ensure the family company’s victory even though other vendors participated in the tender.
“Even though other companies submitted lower bids, the regional offices were required to award the ‘Mother’s Company’,” Asep said.
He said each department was asked to submit its own estimated price (HPS) to PT RNB so that PT RNB’s bid value would align as closely as possible with that HPS. Asep emphasised that this violated procedures.
In short, PT RNB secured outsourcing contracts in 17 departments, three regional hospitals, and one district in 2025. Asep said PT RNB earned Rp 46 billion from contracts with the Pekalongan Regency Government from 2023 to 2026.
“Of that amount, only Rp 22 billion was used for outsourcing staff salaries. The remainder was enjoyed and distributed to the regent’s family, totalling Rp 19 billion,” Asep said.
Details:
Pekalongan Regent Fadia Arafiq: Rp 5.5 billion
Fadia’s husband, Ashraff: Rp 1.1 billion
PT RNB director, Rul Bayatun: Rp 2.3 billion
Fadia’s son, Sabiq: Rp 4.6 billion
Fadia’s daughter, Mehnaz Na: Rp 2.5 billion
Cash withdrawals: Rp 3 billion
Other names are still listed as witnesses. The KPK has only named Fadia as a suspect. She is charged under Article 12(i) and Article 12(B) of the Law on the Eradication of Tindak Pidana Korupsi (Corruption Eradication Act) in conjunction with Article 127(1) of Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Indonesian Penal Code.
