KPK to question finance minister

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) intends to summon Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo for questioning next week.

“We need the minister to clarify few things,” KPK spokesman Johan Budi said on Wednesday as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Johan refused to elaborate further, merely saying that it had the connection with what the KPK’s current investigation.

Some believe that the finance minister is being questioned in relation with the bribery case in the Manpower and Transmigration Ministry, since suspect Dadong Irbarelawan told investigators that the finance ministry had issued a suspicious regulation linked to a project connected with corruption allegations.
