LEGISLATOR ASKS KPK FOR PROOF ON FUNDS TRANSFER TO DUAJI
Jakarta, Nov 4 (ANTARA) - A Democrat Party (PD) legislator has asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to provide more concrete proof of the alleged transfer of Rp10 billion from Bank Century to the National Police's chief detective, Susno Duaji.
Ruhut Sitompul, a member of the House of Representatives (DPR)'s Commission III on legal affairs made the request at a hearing with the KPK leadership here Wednesday.
"We want to know whether the KPK has a recording on the transfer of money. If it has, we hope KPK will hand it over to the DPR," Sitompul said at a hearing with the acting KPK chairman Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean.
He noted that KPK had the authority to bug telephone conversations of people it suspected of being involved in a corruption or bribery case.
As an institution which had the right to tap someone's telephone conversations, surely KPK had recordings of phone conversations of many people, he said.
"If the KPK has a recording on the transfer of Rp10 billion from Bank Century to Susno Duaji, we hope it will hand the recording over to DPR," Sitompul said.
He noted the KPK had submitted the recording of conversations on an alleged plot to frame suspended KPK deputies Bibit Samad Rianto and Chandra Hamzah to the Constitutional Court (MK) which had disclosed the recording's content to the public in a session on Tuesday.
Sitompul asked why the recording was handed over to the MK without giving a copy to the DPR.
The legislator said that the name of the National Police's chief detective was mentioned in the wiretapped conversations but why did KPK not investigate the matter.
Acting KPK Chief Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean said the duties carried out by the KPK were based on its authority in the KPK Law and included wiretapping the conversations of individuals suspected of involvement in corruption.
Besides, he said, based on the law, the recordings of the phone taps could not be given to anyone or disclosed to anybody and anywhere.
The recordings at the MK session were opened as a clarification of evidence with regard to the charges leveled against KPK deputy chiefs Chandra and Bibit, and it was done at the official request of the MK, he said.***1***
