PRESIDENT : ATTACK ON MY ELECTORAL CAMPAIGN TEAM GOING TOO FAR
Jakarta, Dec 2 (ANTARA) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said his electoral campaign team was currently the target of a character assassination attack that had gone too far in connection with the Bank Century bailout case.
"There is a campaign of exaggerated slander and character assassination. It is said an amount of Bank Century funds was transferred to the SBY presidential election success team. I can say now none of my electoral success team members had desired, much less received a single rupiah from an illegal fund," the president told the 23th Women Congress here on Wednesday.
He said that Indonesia as a law-abiding nation should uphold justice in its efforts disclose the truth, not through the slander now being spread by irresponsible parties.
"We want all this to be brought to light. Let us make everything clear. The House of Representatives will use its right of inquiry to follow up the findings of the State Audit Board (BPK). That would be good. Make everything clear. So, please disclose the truth and the facts but don't disseminate slander," the president said.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he wanted the legal process involving Bank Century executives to be completed as soon as possible so that justice could be upheld.
"I have told government officials and law enforcers that I want the legal process against the Bank Century executives to be expedited. If two of them have fled, they have to be tried in absentia," the president told participants of the congress.
He hoped that it would not take too long to take the case to court.
"I want the handling of this case to be accelerated and hopefully with the support of all sides, the court proceedings will not last too long so that a better solution to solve all this could be made," the president added.***1***
