PRESIDENT NOT TO INTERFERE IN DEMOCRAT PARTY EXECUTIVE'S CORRUPTION CASE
Bandar Lampung, March 4 (ANTARA) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has given the assurance he will not interfere in Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) investigations into the suspected involvement of a Democrat Party (PD) executive in a corruption case.
"Whoever is involved in corruption, to whichever party he or she belongs, is subject to due process of law. The bottom line is that under Yudhoyono's leadership, corruption is being fought indiscriminately," presidential spokesman Andi Mallarangeng said when accompanying the head of state during the latter's visit to Bandar Lampung on Wednesday.
Mallarangeng was asked about the president's reaction to reports that Johny Allen Marbun, one of the Democrat Party's associate chairmen who is also a member of the House of Representaives (DPR)'s Commission VI, is suspected of complicity in the bribe-taking case of House member Abdul Hadi Djamal of the National Mandate Party (PAN).
The KPK arrested Djamal on Monday for accepting a bribe from a businessman through an official at the Transportation Ministry in connection with a project in eastern Indonesia.
Djamal had reportedly told KPK investigators Marbun had received part of the bribe money.
Mallarangeng said the president would not hamper the process of investigation into the case even if an executive of the political party he had found proved to be involved in it.
