"Tomorrow I will submit more names and cases in writing to the House of Representatives` (DPR) Ethics Council (BK)," Dahlan said.
Jakarta (ANTARA News) - State Enterprises Minister Dahlan Iskan said that he was not afraid and would tell more names of legislators that have allegedly extorted state-owned companies.

"Tomorrow I will submit more names and cases in writing to the House of Representatives` (DPR) Ethics Council (BK)," he said here on Tuesday after a ministry leadership meeting.

He said the names to be submitted to BK on Wednesday were apart from the two he reported when he met with BK officials on Monday.

According to rumors the two that have been reported to BK are Idris Laena from Golkar Party faction and Sumaryoto from the opposition Indonesia Democratic Party (PDIP) faction.

Dahlan said the names that he would submit on Wednesday would be full names not in the form of initials.

"They would not be in the form of initials but full names completed with an explanation about extortion methods used. The names we reported yesterday were also full names not in the form of initials," he said.

Dahlan said it would be up to BK whether it would make them known to the public or not.

In a surprise move that shocked many quarters the minister recently told about extortion of state-owned companies by legislators. He said around 10 legislators had been indicated to have tried to extort money from state-owned companies.

But in a meeting with BK officials on Monday he only disclosed two names in three cases.

"Actually BK could follow it up after I have disclosed the two names in detail. But because we have been asked to complete with the other names indicated we would immediately do it," he said.

Dahlan meanwhile denied any intervention from BK with regard to his disclosure of the names of legislators on Monday.

"There has been no intervention at all. BK has even asked him to submit more names indicated in the case," he said.

With regard to the extortion case Dahlan has called on all state-owned companies` executives to report directly to him in case they found indications of extortion in their companies.

"I have asked them to be straight forward and not to be afraid to report in case they find indications of extortion to their companies," he said.(*)
