VIVAnews - Members of the House of Representatives (DPR) who recommend for the rights to inquiry on Bank Century bailout case are likely keener in probing into the case. The Bank Century auditing report, which has been publicly in circulation since last week, showed that Rp 500 billion of fund were allegedly channeled to a politician.

"The last finding has added to the suspected names in the list from three to four," DPR member from Golkar Party faction Bambang Soesatyo told VIVAnews on Monday, Nov 23.

The three names listed earlier were those taking the final decision on the bailout process.

The report mentioned that no least than Rp 3.7 trillion out of the total Rp 6.7 trillion of bailout fund were left unreported by the individuals who formulated and issued policies on the bailout fund. Of the unaccounted fund, as much as Rp 500 billion were allegedly transferred to a politician.

Therefore, Bambang implicitly called on the government supporting parties to clarify on the issue with reasonable arguments in an attempt to avoid President's reputation from being tarnished. 

It is evident that the Bank Century case is a key factor in determining whether or not the government will maintain stability. As a result, the government supporting parties should support the rights to inquiry in order to settle the case as soon as possible.

The public has been informed about the report on the bailout fund. It has caused DPR to exercise their rights to inquiry sooner," he said.
