National Police detective division chief Comr
ational Police detective division chief Comr. Gen. Budi Waseso paid a visit to Jakarta Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama in his office in City Hall on Monday to discuss the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) graft case connected with the 2014 budget.
Budi said that he asked for permission from Ahok to question the governor's subordinates, but refused to specify who the police would question next. Budi said that he would also 'request information from the governor' as the 'person in charge' in Jakarta.
'We will question more people: maybe a handful or maybe dozens, maybe civil servants, maybe councilors,' Budi told reporters after the half-hour meeting.
He said that the police would soon name more suspects, but refused to specify.
The case has implicated several councilors, including Abraham "Lulung" Lunggana, who is known as a stiff opponent of Governor Ahok. (ren)(+++)
