Bojonegoro police to question councillors

BOJONEGORO, East Java: The Bojonegoro Police said they would question 45 legislators about markups in a new Rp 2.3 billion bus terminal.

"We expect to finish the investigation this week," Bojonegoro Police chief of detectives Adj. Comr. Ma'mun said.

Of the 45 legislators, eight will be questioned as suspects and the other 37 as witnesses, he said.

The police launched their investigation into the alleged graft after obtaining a report from the United Bojonegoro Society Forum, a non-governmental organization. -- Antara
