JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is
scheduled to question over one dozen Acehnese councillors, mayors
and regents over their role in a corruption case involving Aceh
Governor Abdullah Puteh.

The commission said on Monday that heads of Golkar Faction
Azhari Basar, National Mandate Faction T. Bustami Puteh and
United Development Faction Muzakhir Salda would be questioned on
Tuesday, while others would be quizzed between Sept. 1 and Sept.
