JAKARTA: Two former Depok councillors, Lt. Col. (ret) Ali
Sumaris Sudamasa and Lt. Col. (ret) Saliman Mireja, are scheduled
to be questioned over graft allegations on Friday, Jakarta Police
anticorruption chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Anton Wahono said.

The two failed to answer a police summons on Tuesday.

A total of 20 former Depok councillors, whose term ended
recently, have been named suspects in the misuse of Rp 9 billion
(US$979,538) from the city budget in 2002.

On Tuesday, the police detained 12 of the former councillors,
all of whom were members of the budget committee of the Depok
Council. Seven other suspects were detained on Sept. 6.

Police have been unable to question another suspect, Manahan
Erwin Limbong, because he is suffering from a heart-related
illness. -- JP
