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.

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
