Juwono, Andung submit reports to KPK

JAKARTA: Defense minister Juwono Sudarsono and industry minister Andung Nitimihardja submitted on Monday their respective wealth reports to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Maritime and fisheries minister Freddy Numberi is thus the only Cabinet member not to have submitted a wealth report.

M. Jasin, a director of KPK managing ministers' wealth reports, said the commission was currently verifying 24 Cabinet ministers' wealth reports, after declaring the wealth of 12 others recently.

So far, Coordinating Minister for the Economy Aburizal Bakrie has reported the highest wealth with some Rp 1.1 trillion (US$ 124 billion) in assets, while agriculture minister Anton Apriyantono is apparently the poorest minister, with Rp 389 million. --JP
