The House of Representatives’ inquiry committee into the Bank Century bailout said Tuesday it would summon Finance Minister Sri Mulyani and former vice president Jusuf Kalla on Jan. 13 to testify about the Rp 6.7 trillion (US$716 million) bailout.

Mulyani is scheduled to face the committee at 10 a.m., while Kalla will be questioned at 7 p.m. Raden Pardede, secretary of the Financial System Stability Committee, will be grilled at 3 p.m.

On Jan. 12, the committee will also summon Vice President Boediono, who was the Bank Indonesia governor at the time of the bailout, kompas.com reported.

Robert Tantular, the former owner of Century, will testify on Jan. 7.

The government bailed out Century in November 2008 after the bank fell into serious financial straits.
