Denial by the Supreme Audit Agency
In connection with the article titled Audit Acrobatics in Tempo's issue of June 2-8, we would like to make a clarification. The process of opinion-making in the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) is already in line with the State Financial Audit Standard and there is no transaction of opinion or intervention of BPK Chairman Rizal Djalil.
Gerindra's Objection
We are writing to object to the Political Merry-Go-Round article published in Tempo's issue of May 19-25. A source quoted in the story stated that Gerindra Chief Patron Prabowo Subianto asked for Rp3 trillion from Golkar Chairman Aburizal Bakrie as a political 'dowry.' It was stated that the money was meant to replace Gerindra's legislative election cost.
