President to suspend Riau Islands Governor for graft case

Fadli, The Jakarta Post, Batam | Wed, 05/26/2010 4:52 PM

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will sign a letter leading the suspension of Riau Islands Governor Ismeth Abdullah, a declared graft suspect by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"After President returns from his trip to Oslo, he will sign the letter," Home Minister Gamawan Fauzi said Wednesday.

Ismeth, who was arrested by KPK on Feb. 22, stood trial in April for a firetruck procurement corruption case.

Gamawan said his ministry did not try to delay Ismeth's suspension.

"The Riau Islands still has a vice governor, thus the government administration is still working," he said.
