House to screen BPK candidates

JAKARTA: The House of Representatives will hold selection
hearings for 61 candidates for positions in the State Audit
Agency (BPK) between May 17 and May 19.

Only 21 candidates will be picked based on the results of the
hearings, and these will be submitted to the President, who will
then choose seven of them.

The candidates come from various professions, and include
legislators, academics and serving members of the BPK.

Emir Moeis, the chairman of Commission IX, which is charged
with conducting the hearings, called on the public on Wednesday
to provide the House with information on the candidates' track
records.

The House delayed the selection of BPK members due to the
general election. The terms of the serving members should have
ended in February. -- JP
