Former presidential advisor Adnan Buyung Nasution has suggested the Bank Century bailout inquiry committee summon President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono over his possible link to its Rp 6.76 trillion (US$716 million) bailout.
“I think it is proper to summon [Yudhoyono] in order to answer why [Finance Minister] Sri Mulyani, [Vice President] Boediono and Raden Pardede made such decisions,” said Adnan as quoted by kompas.com news portal on Sunday.
The three are considered key persons in the bailout case because at that time Sri Mulyani was finance minister and chief of the (now-defunct) Committee for Financial System Stability (KSSK) chief, while Boediono was the central bank’s chief, and Raden was the secretary of the KSSK.
“Did the President grant them permission to make the bailout decision? Or, did the President himself push them to? We need a clear answer to these questions,” Adnan said. (nkn)
