Nine ministers yet to declare wealth

JAKARTA: Nine of the 32 members of the Cabinet have yet to submit their wealth reports to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) despite the deadline set President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Susilo had earlier set a deadline of one week counting from Oct. 20. He then revised it to one month when most of his Cabinet members failed to meet the deadline.

M. Jasin, the deputy KPK chairman, said on Monday that Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Widodo Adi Sucipto had become the latest minister to submit his asset declaration.

"We'll report them to the President if they fail to submit their declarations by Dec. 20," he said without naming the ministers who had yet to comply. -- JP
