JAKARTA: Golkar Party chairman Aburizal Bakrie said Saturday he had asked party lawmaker Idrus Marham to show firm leadership in the House of Representatives' committee of inquiry into the Bank Century scandal.
Aburizal suggested that Idrus and other committee members not to be hesitant in summoning individuals connected with the case.
"I told *Idrus* and other Golkar members joining the committee to uncover the scandal without reservation," Aburizal said on the sidelines of his visit to Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara.
Idrus, who is also Golkar's secretary-general, won the committee's chief post after securing support from 19 out of 30 committee members in a vote Friday.
Many see Idrus' appointment as a result of a negotiation between Golkar and President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Democratic Party to keep the government apart from the scandal. - JP
