BPK member denies Mulyana allegation

JAKARTA: Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) auditing team head
Khairiansyah Salman plans to file a libel suit against General
Elections Committee member Mulyana W. Kusumah, his lawyer says.

Mulyana told the anticorruption court on Monday that
Khairiansyah received a weekly transportation allowance of Rp
750,000 (US$78.94) from the committee.

"He denied having accepted such a fund and there were no proof
of such an allegation," Khairiansyah's lawyer, Todung Mulya
Lubis, said at the South Jakarta District Court on Tuesday.

Corruption Eradication Committee vice chairman Erry Riyana
Hardjapamekas had confirmed the allegation was not true, Todung
said.

Mulyana is standing trial for alleged bribery. -- Antara
