Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A top Golkar Party functionary denied here Thursday the party leadership had ever discussed a scenario to remove Vice President Boediono from his post for his alleged involvemnt in the Bank Century scandal.

"There have never been preparations for Boediono`s replacement, Our tinking has never gone in that direction," chairman of the Golkar Party`s advisory board Akbar Tandjung said.

He said his party had never discussed a plan to impeach the vice president, only how to make the law enforcement agencies take steps to follow up the House Bank Century Inquiry Committee`s conlusions on the bank`s bailout scandal, and the House to monitor the law enforcing agencies` follow-up steps.

"So we did not discuss how the vice president could be replaced but how Golkar should respond to the people`s aspiration to see the Bank Century case settled conclusively," Akbar, a former House speaker, said.

He said now that the House Bank Century Inquiry Committee had finished its task, the House should see to it that the committee`s recommendations were followed up by the relevant instititions. The general public`s interest also required the case`s conclusive settlement, he added.  (*)
