The House of Representatives in a plenary session Tuesday rejected the Bank Indonesia governor candidates proposed by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, affirming an earlier decision by a House commission.
Last week, the House’s Commission XI overseeing financial affairs rejected the candidates of the President: Bank Mandiri president director Agus Martowardojo and PT Perusahaan Pengelola Aset vice president Raden Pardede.
The commission said neither candidate was capable of leading BI, the country’s central bank.
“The House decided to reject both candidates,” said House Speaker Agung Laksono following the session.
“We will officially send the results to the President on Wednesday. We will also ask the President to submit up to three names, without the two names that have been rejected.”
Agung expects the President to submit the names immediately, as the House will begin a recess April 5 and current BI Governor Burhanuddin Abdullah will end his term May 17.
While expressing disappointment with the decision, Vice President Jusuf Kalla said the government accepted the situation and was preparing to name new candidates.
