Team set up to audit Miranda's wealth

JAKARTA: The Public Servants Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN) is considering establishing a team to audit the wealth of Miranda Goeltom, a deputy governor of Bank Indonesia who was questioned by the commission on Tuesday, an official said.

"We will hold a meeting to discuss the issue," said Muchayat, the head of KPKPN's division for executive officials, on Wednesday.

He said one of Miranda's daughters was allegedly involved in a transaction of the central bank's promissory notes (SBIs).

"That's insider trading. I don't think the issuer of SBIs can buy the notes," Muchayat said.

Miranda, who has been nominated as Bank Indonesia governor, said earlier that there was no rule banning SBI transactions by central bank officials.

According to the KPKPN's records, Miranda owns property and savings valued at Rp 5.6 billion and has another US$56,000 in savings. --JP
