Commission (KPK) on Tuesday became heated after lawmakers claimed that KPK
commissioners were responding to the questions put to them in an inappropriate
manner.
You don't understand the explanation because you dont write it down, Saut said,
responding to Benny, who interrupted Saut while he was attempting to explain the
mechanisms used to follow up on reports and tip-offs from the public on alleged
graft cases.
Sauts remarks quickly raised protest from other Commission III members.
Lawmaker Erma Suryani Ranik lambasted Saut for his "disrespectful response".
You must respect the chairman of the meeting. All of us must do so, said Erma
from the Democratic Party.
Other lawmakers, including Wenny Warouw from the Gerindra Party, expressed a
greater degree of anger, and shouted at Saut.
"The chairman of the meeting asked you to give an explanation. You dont need to be
defensive," said Wenny, a former police general who later questioned the
mechanisms used by the KPK, which he claimed were not in line with the work of
police officers investigating cases. (ipa)
