Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Does Nunun Nurbaeti, the suspect in a high profile bribery case have more than one passport?.

No, Adang Dorojatun, her husband said here on Wednesday.

"That is impossible," he said while asking the one who said that to introspect if he happens to be an immigration official because it is the office that actually issues passports.

"Do not ask about it to her (Nunun). That`s funny," the legislator from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) said on the sidelines of the visit of House of Representatives` Commission III in which he is one of its members to the Supreme Court.

Adang, who is also a former National Police deputy chief, meanwhile asked the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to go ahead in its efforts to seek her arrest and take her home but he also would seek justice.

"I would ask for justice if she is caught, taken home and processed. I would ask for an explanation regarding the process of her naming as suspect and withdrawal of her passport," he said.

He said he would also ask KPK to hear the testimony of four convicts in the traveler`s cheque bribery case namely Endhin Sufihara, Udju Djuhaeri, Dudhie Makmun Murod and Hamka Yamdhu.

"They must pay attention to what they said in the court before. Who has actually distributed the cheques. How can it be blamed on her," he said.

He said until now no suspects involved in the case had stated that his wife was the one who had distributed the cheques.

He said there had also been no material evidence proving that Ari Malangjudo received cheques from Nunun or had been told by Nunun to distribute the cheques.

Adang said Nunun had never been questioned as a witness but had been named suspect right away, which was then followed by revocation of her passport.

When asked about her whereabouts Adang asked newsmen to ask about it to KPK. "If you ask me where Nunun is, just ask KPK because I have already sent letters to KPK, the Indonesian embassy in Singapore and to the immigration office telling that she sought medication in Singapore," he said.

On information that his wife is now in other place Adang said that the question should actually have been addressed to "the minister or anyone who said that she is now there. Ask him how he knew it. I would say in line with my letter that she is in Singapore," he said.

Nunun has been named suspect by KPK for allegedly instructing Ary Malangjudo to distribute 480 traveler`s cheques to a number of parliament members of the 1999-2004 period in connection with the selection of Miranda S Gultom as a central bank`s senior deputy governor in 2004.

A senior politician from Golkar Party, Fahmi Idris, meanwhile had asked Adang to be a gentleman and tell about her wife`s whereabouts.

As an official and former national police deputy chief Adang should help law enforcement, he said after the launching of a book on former president Soeharto here on Wednesday.

He said if Adang believed his wife was clear he should not have hesitated to present Nunun to KPK.

Fahmi meanwhile said according to information he recived Nunun always moved and was not in Singapore.

"I have told KPK from the beginning that Nunun was in Thailand. Should KPK have followed his information it had certainly caught Nunun," he said.

Fahmi said Nunun lived in a housing estate in Thailand and from there she moved to Vietnam and finally in Phom Phen, Cambodia.

"In Cambodia Nunun lived in a hotel, Now she is not there any longer," he said.

How she could move from one country to another Fahmi said it was because Nunun used the passport of her niece, Yane Yuniarti, who looks like Nunun.

He said while abroad Nunun has always been accompanied by two or three of her relatives. "Even Adang often came to visit her," he said.

KPK meanwhile plans to send a team to Cambodia to coordinate with local authorities to assure her whereabouts.

A presidential special staff for foreign affairs, Teuku Feizasyah, meanwhile said here on Wednesday that the government was serious in dealing with Nunun`s case. "People must not think negatively about the government`s efforts," he said.
