Mega urged to summon A. Rachman

JAKARTA: President Megawati Soekarnoputri is urged to summon Attorney General M. Abdul Rachman for questioning on where he has obtained the funds for his recent luxurious wedding party for his daughter.

The appeal was made by Indira Damayanti Bambang Sugondo, a member of the House of Representatives (DPR) from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), in a press conference here Friday.

Indira Damayanti pointed out that Megawati had once expressed concerns over the luxurious wedding party held at the Sudirman Building here on June 8.

Indira Damayanti said such an expression of concern was not sufficient, adding that the President's stance should be translated into concrete admonishment or even punishment if necessary.

"I appreciate Megawati's expression of concerns over the luxurious wedding party. It shows that she has a standpoint on that. But I think the President should take stiff measures as to summon the Attorney General for questioning. If I were her I would query where the Attorney General has got that much money from", the PDIP cadre said. --Antara
