KPK INTERROGATES FORMER LEGISLATOR AGUS CONDRO
Jakarta, Nov 14 (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday questioned former House of Representatives (DPR) member Agus Condro in the illegal use of Rp100 billion of Indonesian Banking Development Foundation (YPPI) funds by Bank Indonesia (BI or central bank).
"I will be testifying for (former BI deputy governor) Aulia Pohan (a suspect in the case)," Condro said after arriving at the KPK building at 13.15 AM for the questioning.
But Condro said he had no idea what specifically the KPK would question him about. "I don't really know much about the YPPI funds flow," he said.
In previous interrogations by KPK, Condro had admitted to having received Rp25 million of the YPPI funds while one of the key suspects in the case, DPR member Hamka Yandhu, had confessed he had distributed Rp31.5 billion of the YPPI funds to members of a House commission to which he belonged.
Condro criticized some House members who had also received some of the illegal funds for having claimed they had accepted the money as it was intended to help fund their electoral campaigns.
According to Condro, their explantion was absurd because it was not possible that Hamka Yandhu, a Golkar Party member, would contribute money to the electoral campaigns of members of other parties.
"It doesn't make any sense," Condro said.
He also said as far as he knew, the leader of every House commission was required to know every cash flow in his unit.
Aulia Pohan is one of four former senior BI officials recently named suspects in the illegal disbursemnt of Rp100 billion from the YPPI's treasury. The three others are Aslim Tadjuddin, Maman H Somantri and Bunbunan Hutapea.
