Over 100 lawmakers yet to declare wealth

JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) announced
on Tuesday it was still waiting for more than 100 legislators to
submit reports declaring their personal wealth.

As of Tuesday, the commission had received 409 reports filled
by members of the 550-strong House of Representatives. Others who
had fulfilled their responsibilities included all members of the
128-seat Regional Representatives Council and 7,462 of a total of
7,771 regional councillors.

KPK deputy chairman Sjahruddin Rasul said the General
Elections Commission (KPU) had submitted the reports to the KPK
on Monday. The commission had set a Nov. 1 deadline for
legislative members to submit their wealth reports, but did not
spell out the penalties for those who missed the deadline. -- JP
