Sri Mulyani completes marathon questioning

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) questioned Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati for six hours on Tuesday, the second time she faced the music in connection with the Bank Century bailout she authorized in November 2008.

Nothing new asked by three KPK investigators as the minister had provided all documents, and audio and video files, to KPK on Nov. 30 and Dec. 11 last year, said Mulyani about the questioning process, a follow-up of the two-hour questioning process last Thursday.

"It's not new. But they want to make this interactive, to verify and clarify statements, figures, other happenstances," Mulyani told a press conference after the marathon questioning.

Mulyani assured that she provided the same statements to KPK as she did before the House of Representatives' inquiry committee and the Supreme Audit Agency.

"All can be compared objectively and comprehensively," she said.

The minister expected the case to be solved immediately to show the public and the state the bailout was responsible and accountable.

Her responses to the judges’ questions have upset many people, particularly religious leaders in her home province. In the contest’s final stage, she was asked why she was not wearing a headscarf like previous contestan
