JAKARTA, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono
summoned on Monday two ministers in connection with their alleged involvement in
illegal fund flows from Bank Indonesia (BI) to the House of Representatives
(DPR) in 2003, Antara news wire reported here.
Forestry Minister MS Kaban and National Development Planning Paskah Suzetta
would be received by the president at the State Palace Monday afternoon.
Presidential spokesman Andi Mallarangeng has previously said that the two
ministers were to be summoned because the head of state wanted to hear directly
the two ministers' explanations on their alleged involvement in the case.
During the meeting, the president would be accompanied by National Police
Chief General Sutanto and Attorney General Hendarman Supandji.
Paskah and Kaban who were members of Commission IX of the House in the
1999-2004 period, were mentioned by suspect Hamka Yandhu during a Corruption
Court session last week that they had also received 27.5 billion rupiah (some
2.99 million U.S. dollars) of the BI funds.
