The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) says that it will not stop its investigation into Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati’s role in the Bank Century bailout even if she takes up the World Bank managing director job.
"The World Bank is still in the world, therefore, as long as she is in the world, we can always look for her," KPK deputy chairman Bibit Samad Riyanto told a hearing with the House of Representatives’ monitoring team on the Bank Century case on Wednesday.
"We don't mind traveling to Washington to question her."
The House declared Mulyani responsible for the bailout which rose ten times to Rp 6.76 trillion (US$716 million) from its original estimate.
World Bank President Robert Zoellick was said to appoint Mulyani due to her unique capacity and ability that could benefit developing countries in fighting poverty.
Mulyani will reportedly start her term as the World Bank managing director from June 1. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has approved her resignation as the finance minister.
