A Petitioner’s Witness named Ibn Ruslan, as the Chairman of the Council of Ulema in Cempaka Village of Cempaka District, explaining about the occasion taken place on December 8, 2010. At that time he was invited by village and Sub-district officials and to attend the donation event as much as Rp 1 million per Council of Mosques Prosperity (DKM) by the Regent of Cianjur.

But surprisingly, during the donation, the money received by the DKM was not less than Rp 1 million, only Rp 850,000. Symbolically, it was written Rp 1 million. Therefore, the DKM had complained to Ibnu, askng for the reason for cutting off the amount of money. Having asked the village head, he argued it was for the reimbursement of managing the proposals and so forth. "This incident had made me so ashamed to the DKM," said Ibnu which also revealed the donation of the money was conducted towards the implementation of the General Election held Cianjur regency 2011.
Other events, continued Ibnu, happened on December 22, 2010 when there was a distribution of teachers’ honorarium at Madrasah Aliyah in Cibeber, North Cianjur, the candidate to receive the honoraria came from 17 districts.

" The Headmaster said that the Batik fabric was a gift from the Regent for the teachers," said Didin who also revealed the sticker of the candidate No. 5 inside the batik gifts.
Meanwhile, a witness of the Related Party, Bachruddin Ali dismissed the rumors that the disbursement of aid was used in election campaign by the Related Party. After we conducted an assessment, it was true that many of the local government obligations had not been resolved. Among others was social donation matter.
"There should have been 5000 mosques which received social aid, but in reality not yet. Therefore, we held a special meeting. After we checked, it turned out that the Rp 5 billion money had already existed as of June. We asked relevant agencies, in this case Bank Jabar to distribute the aid. Apparently after we asked, they could not afford to do so due to the vast area of Cianjur for the procurement of funds for 5000 mosques plus another 30 large mosques, "said Bachruddin. In the end, the provision of social aids were transferred to the credit institutions in Karang Tengah
While another witness of the Related Parties, Mohammad Toha, who was also a member of Cianjur parliament, explaining the social aid from the government of Cianjur was not only amounted to Rp 5 billion for the 5000 mosques and Rp 3 billion for 30 large mosques. As a matter of fact, the budget had been prepared as much as Rp 40 billion, and it is accommodated through a partial change. (Nano Tresna A/YDJ).
