Jakarta, NU Online
Chairman of the Advisory Board of the National Awakening Party (PKB) KH Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) said that he had never received money amounted to Rp.300 million from Yusuf Emir Faishal to pay his hospital bill.
"I have never received (the money), I am clean. It's up to people to call me dirty, I must be clean," Gus Dur told reporters at the PBNU headquarters in Jakarta on Wednesday (16/7).<>
Faishal, former head of the House of Representatives' Commission IV overseeing food, forestry and agriculture, admitted yesterday to receiving money related to a forest conversion in Banyuasin, South Sumatra, but claimed to have given the money to his party.
The PKB politician showed journalists two receipts for transfers worth a total of Rp 800 million (US$87,200) to two PKB deputy chairmen, before he faced questioning as a suspect at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) office.
While the treasurer of the PKB, Aris Junaidi, denied the money he had accepted was related to the conversion or that it was a hospital bill payment.
"The party had given him Rp 900 million for a regional election campaign. He had used Rp 50 million for a PKB anniversary celebration and returned Rp 300 million to me, but it remains unclear what happened to the rest of the money," Aris said.
The forest conversion procedure requires the forestry minister to seek approval from House Commission IV before a ministerial decree concerning the conversion can be issued. (mkf)
