BI governor must be responsible

BI governor must be responsible

One of The Jakarta Post's headlines on Dec. 30, 1997, was Ex
BI directors formally charged. So far, only three of four removed
directors have been questioned by police because the fourth one
was still in Australia. I don't know how many directors are on
Bank Indonesia's payroll.

I think there is something wrong with this bank's management.
Organizationally, the last person that should be held responsible
for malpractice is the governor of the bank, who is the top
manager.

To demonstrate to the people and the international community
that he is responsible and also has a moral obligation, it would
be better if he files his resignation with the President. By so
doing, Indonesians will respect him and perhaps our rupiah will
strengthen.
