Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Consistently voting for Option C, the Greater Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) and the People`s Conscience Party (Hanura) factions said there were various violations in the bailout process for Bank Century.

The factions` stances regarding the Bank Century bailout case were made clear by their respective spokesmen during a plenary of the House of Representatives (DPR) which discussed the final views of factions in the Bank Century Inquiry Committee on Wednesday.

In the plenary which was chaired by House Speaker Marzuki Alie, spokesman of Gerindra Achmad Muzani said there were many alleged violations in the process of the bank merger, acquisition and bailout.

"There are violations of the law, a government regulation in lieu of law (Perppu), a finance ministerial decree, regulations of Bank Indonesia (BI) and other decisions," he said.

Therefore, Gerindra`s faction maintained its previous view which it had expressed during the committee`s plenary to deliver the factions views on the bailout case.

"We have been consistent since the beginning so that we hereby state that Gerindra opts to the Option C," he said.

The spokesman of the Hanura faction, Akbar Faisal said meanwhile that his faction would never change its stance in the face of whatever forms of pressure.

"We hereby officially state that we will never retreat even an inch from our initial stance violations of banking regulations, corruption crimes other other crimes have been found in the merger process of the bank that caused losses to the state," Akbar Faisal said.
He said that therefore Hanura firmly opted to choose Option C.

With the Hanura faction opting for Option C, the score is 5:2 where five opted for Option C and two Option A.

Two factions did not state any options, showing that their stances were unclear, namely the factions of the United Development Party (PPP) and the National Mandate Party (PAN).

The Nation`s Awakening Party (PKB) faction did not either state a clear stance but it was considered to be opting for Option A, which states that there were no irregularities in the bailout.(*)
