SAMARINDA: Two suspects in an alleged graft case involving the
East Kalimantan Provincial Council's operational budget worth Rp
85 billion (US$9.4 million) were again being questioned at the
local prosecutor's office on Thursday.

The suspects were Soekardi Jarwo Putro, former speaker of East
Kalimantan Provincial Council in 1999-2004, and Khairul Fuad, the
deputy speaker of the council at the same time. Khairul now still
holds the same position on the council.

After the questioning from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Soekardi
said the questions were related to financial procedures at the
time when he was still in office. He added that the prosecutors
just confirmed what had been asked in previous questioning. -- JP
