The Democratic Party chairman at the House of Representatives, Anas Urbaningrum, says that anyone rising the agenda to implicate President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the Bank Century case and try to impeach him is nothing but a sore loser.
“The competition is over. Now is the time to work together for the good of the people. Opposition must also learn to be a mature and a constructive force,” he told The Jakarta Post on Monday.
“To those who lost the 2009 presidential election, please wait until 2014. It is not good to put certain political interests above the people,” he added.
Previously, a legislator from the Greater Indonesian Movement Party (Gerindra), Rindhoko, said that the proof was enough to implicate Yudhoyono as the most responsible in the Bank Century case.
The bank was bailed out in November 2008 using an Rp 6.76 trillion (US$716 million) of funds, ten times higher than its original estimation.
The authority of the bailout was in the hands of Finance Minister Sri Mulyani and the then Bank Indonesia governor, Boediono, now vice president.
Mulyani and Boediono had said that the President knew about the bailout and also insisted that their policy was right for the country in the midst of the global crisis.
Speculations are also rife that the bailout fund may have been disbursed into the accounts of Yudhoyono's presidential campaign team members.
Yudhoyono and his Democratic Party have rejected the speculations and have also urged the case to be resolved as soon as possible.
