House Deputy Speaker Taufik Kurniawan also said the President`s instruction on the Gayus case was an indication of the government`s seriousness in bringing it to a final solution.

What now needed to be monitored, he said, was the seriousness of the law enforcing agencies in carrying out the President`s instruction within the shortest possible time.
"We need now wait how the state`s law enforcing agencies respond to the presidential instruction, This is something they must do without fail," said Taufik who is also secretary general of the National Mandate Party (PAN).
