nasUrbaningrum is saying that an aide of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has launched a silent campaign against theCorruption Eradication Commission's (KPK) investigation of the Hambalang graftscandal.
"I feel that there is someone who is very close to Yudhoyono who has been in special communication with the KPK and therefore, I asked Yudhoyono to stop this kind of intervention," Anas told The Jakarta Post during an interview on Tuesday night.
Anas, the former chairman of Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, said that he had told the President that he knew about the aide's alleged obstruction of justice.
"I told Yudhoyono who the man was and about the operation known as Operation Solemnly Silent' [SS]," Anas said.
Anas resigned as chairman shortly after the KPK named him suspect in the Hambalang scandal, maintaining that he was named a suspect for political reasons. (dic)
