Flow of IDR 46 Billion and Allegations of Distribution to Family Circle

The KPK explained that during the period 2023 to 2026, there was an inflow of funds to PT RNB of approximately IDR 46 billion sourced from contracts with various regional apparatus organizations in Pekalongan Regency. Of that amount, approximately IDR 22 billion was allegedly used to pay the salaries of outsourced employees. The remainder, according to investigators, was not entirely used for operational purposes, but was largely suspected of being enjoyed and distributed to the regent's family and close associates.

In the KPK's presentation, approximately IDR 19 billion of the remaining funds allegedly flowed to Fadia's family and her closest circle. ANTARA summarized that of that amount, approximately IDR 13.7 billion was allegedly enjoyed by Fadia and her family, IDR 2.3 billion flowed to the Director of PT RNB, and approximately IDR 3 billion withdrawn in cash but not fully distributed. The KPK also mentioned that the management and distribution pattern of the funds was regulated through internal communication, including a WA group called “RSUD Spending”, which was used to report the withdrawal of money for the regent.

This case now places Fadia Arafiq as the sole suspect in the alleged corruption case of outsourcing service procurement and other procurements within the Pekalongan Regency Government. In legal terms, the KPK suspects the act with corruption articles related to conflicts of interest and acceptance of gratuities. In Law Number 1 of 2023, the reference to the old corruption article in the Anti-Corruption Law is remapped: Article 2 paragraph (1) becomes Article 603, Article 3 becomes Article 604, Article 5 becomes Article 605, while Article 11 and Article 13 are mapped to Article 606. Meanwhile, Article 127 paragraph (1) of the new Criminal Code regulates the concurrence of several independent criminal acts that are threatened with the same type of principal punishment.

This case has come under scrutiny because it reveals a pattern of alleged corruption that not only targets conventional cash bribes, but also conflicts of interest in procurement,vendor rigging, and the use of family companies to absorb regional budgets. If the entire KPK's construction is later proven in court, the Fadia Arafiq case could be another example of how local political power is used to control government projects for private gain.
