The House of Representatives selected on Wednesday night seven members for a new judicial commission that will be involved in reforming the judiciary and nominating Supreme Court justices and the chief justice.

A member of the selection team, Akil Mochtar, said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono would appoint Mohammad Musral Mukadas, Hattama Rasyid, Mustafa Abdullah, Irawadi Yunus, Tahir Saimina, Zainal Arifin and Sukoco Saputro to the commission after a House plenary session endorsed their selection next Monday. The candidates went through a series of tests since Monday. -- JP
