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
