Anas’ Team Wants Money Politics in Democrat Congress Revealed

Ruhut Sitompul, former member of the supportive team for Anas Urbaningrum in the 2010 Democrat Party Congress in Bandung, has expressed his support for the Democrat Party Honorary Board’s attempt to investigate the source of funds used to secure Anas’ chairmanship. Ruhut claimed that he was surprised to hear the confessions made by some congress attendees who received the funds.

“If that’s the case, we’ll leave it to the Honorary Board. I’m also surprised to hear there was money going around like that,” said Ruhut at the House of Representatives (DPR) building in Jakarta on Monday.

Earlier, the Honorary Board, assisted by the Democrat Party Supervisory Commission, was reported to have make plans on investigating the source of funds used to win Anas Urbaningrum of his chairmanship. According to the former treasurer of Anas’ supportive team, Muhammad Nazaruddin, the funds allocated to secure Anas’ chairmanship reached Rp50 billion. Nazaruddin claimed that the funds were taken from the Hambalang and SEA Games athletes’ village project budget.
