JAKARTA: Adding insult to injury for House of Representatives
Speaker Akbar Tandjung, two legislators from his own Golkar Party
filed a police report against him on Saturday.

Just one day after the High Court in Jakarta upheld a three-
year jail sentence against him for a graft conviction, Komariah
Kuncoro and Chairunisa filed a police report against Akbar for
unfairly replacing them as legislators late last year.

"Akbar unfairly replaced me as a legislator and ignored my
complaints about the decision," Komariah said after filing the
report.

"Since I never agreed with the replacement, it should not have
been made," he remarked. Komariah was replaced under a midterm
mechanism. -- Antara.
