Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The House of Representatives' Ethics Council on Wednesday summoned State-owned Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan in connection with his revised report that named five legislators allegedly involved in extortion of state-owned enterprises.
"We have summoned Dahlan for clarification on the revision of legislators' names listed in his report," Ethics Council (BK) head Muhammad Prakosa said here on Wednesday.
On November 7, the minister had submitted to the Ethics Council a report containing the names of legislators who were allegedly involved in extortion.
"Two names were reported earlier, while the other five were reported in the minister's second letter (on November 12). Later, in a third letter, the list was revised again," Prakosa explained.
On Tuesday this week, the Council summoned the directors of three state-owned enterprises ¿ PT PAL Indonesia, PT Merpati Nusantara Airlines, and PT Garam for explanation on the alleged extortion of state-owned enterprises by DPR members.
"The directors confirmed that some lawmakers had asked for fees in return for disbursement of state capital to their companies," Prakosa stated.(*/M038)
