(Jakarta Post) Zulkifli Hasan: PAN to drop right of inquiry vote about Governor Ahok

12/12/2018



Newly elected National Mandate Party (PAN) chairman Zulifkli Hassan has asked that PAN legislators in the Jakarta City Council retract their decision to exercise their right of inquiry.

Earlier this year, city councilors unanimously agreed to exercise their right of inquiry to investigate Governor Basuki "Ahok" Tjahaja Purnama and the ongoing budget dispute between the councilors and the executive branch.

"PAN [members] may not exercise their inquiry rights [in the 2015 city budget dispute]. It is an unnecessary fight," Zulfikli said as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday.

At the City Council, PAN has two councilors and joined the Democratic Party to create a faction with 12 members of the 106 councilors. There are 9 factions at the City Council.

The two PAN members, Johan Musyawa and Bambang Kusmanto, said they had agreed to retract their support for the right of inquiry but urged the Democrats and other factions to continue the investigation.

Inquiry rights may be exercised with only 15 percent of councilor votes.
