JAKARTA: Comr. Gen. Sutanto is expected to be inaugurated as
National Police chief on Friday, replacing Gen. Da'i Bakhtiar.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to take a
break from the preparations for his son's wedding this weekend to
lead the inauguration ceremony at the State Palace.

Sutanto, who currently heads the country's anti-narcotics
agency, was approved by the House of Representatives on Monday.
Most of the legislators consider the longtime friend of the
President a relatively "clean" figure.

Susilo proposed Sutanto as the sole candidate to replace Da'i.
