Former vice president Jusuf Kalla says that his former boss, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, is relatively secure from impeachment.
"He is protected by the Constitution. As long as anyone does the right thing, they are secured," he told reporters after the declaration of the National Democrat mass organization in Jakarta on Monday.
Speculations about a possible impeachment on Yudhoyono are rife after the investigation on the Bank Century bailouit by an inquiry committe at the House of Representatives about to reach its finale.
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 might 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.
