Joint hearing with AG fails

JAKARTA: A hearing at the House of Representatives with Attorney General (AG) Abdul Rachman Saleh failed to materialize on Monday due to a miscommunication between the two sides.

Abdul Rachman said lawmakers changed the agenda of the hearing, which was jointly arranged by House Commission II for domestic affairs and Commission III for legal affairs. He also said he could not attend the entire meeting because of a Cabinet meeting later in the day.

The attorney general said he received an invitation to the hearing from Commission II on Feb. 27.

Thairman of House Commission II, Teras Narang, who presided over the hearing, postpone the meeting until Feb. 17. -- JP
