Boedionos presence is important as he has to clarify his statement that it was the Insurance Deposit Agency (LPS), which was responsible for giving Bank Century the bailout funds totaling Rp6.76 trillion, emphasized Sarifuddin Sudding, one of the supervising teams members.
"May Boediono be able to show his statesmanship by respecting our invitation. As a top state official, he must be able to set a good example to the people," remarked Chairman of the Peoples Conscience Partys (Hanura) faction at the Indonesian parliament.
Sudding further added that the DPR team members were seeking clarification on the statement because as per the 2004 LPS Law, it is the president who should be held accountable.
In response to the supervising teams move, House Speaker Marzuki Alie showed his disagreement by saying that summoning Boediono is an act of political arrogance.
He claimed that the move will damage the countrys democracy and law.
"Our democracy is damaged because political nuances of this move are more dominant and is disrespect to our law," Sudding emphasized.(*)
