(News Terupdate) - Panda Nababan, a legislator from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), finally came to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Monday to undergo questioning in a bribery case in connection with the election of former Bank Indonesia (BI) senior deputy governor Miranda Goeltom in 2004.
Nababan came to the KPK office on Monday after having repeatedly ignored KPK summonses over the past few weeks.
After being questioned for more than an hour, Panda made no comment to waiting reporters as he left the KPK building.
KPK spokesman Johan Budi said that the KPK needed information from Nababan to complete his dossier, and the KPK would soon indict him as a suspect.
Miranda's election as the central bank’s senior deputy governor in June 2004 has been mired in controversy since former Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) legislator Agus Tjondro Prayitno testified that he had received Rp 500 million (US$50,000) in traveler's checks from PDI-P colleague Emir Moeis, following the House of Representatives' nod for Miranda to fill the post.
The Financial Transaction Report Analysis Center (PPATK) at the time linked 480 traveler's checks to the election, but only 10 were cashed by the legislators in person.
The KPK has named Golkar’s Hamka Yandhu, Endin J. Soefihara from the United Development Party (PPP), the PDI-P’s Dudhie Makmun Murod and the Supreme Audit Agency’s (BPK) Udju Juhaeri as suspects in the case.
