Armando Siahaan – A meeting between the House of Representatives' team monitoring the Bank Century bailout investigation and the National Police ended in farce on Wednesday, after angry lawmakers pointed out that documents presented by the police conflicted with the House's initial recommendations.

The meeting began cordially, with National Police Chief Bambang Danuri Hendarso outlining its investigation into the controversial Rp 1.8 trillion ($198 million) bailout of the ailing lender, since renamed Bank Mutiara.

Akbar Faizal, a lawmaker from the People's Conscience Party (Hanura), however, objected to the introduction of the document provide by police because it failed to refer to "Option C," namely the recommendation of the full House that found that violations and irregularities occurred during the bailout.

Akbar's interruption provoked a flurry of similar objections, with most agreeing that the police report was flawed and needed correcting, and that the meeting must be postponed.

Bambang conceded that the police progress report contained mistakes and agreed to postpone the meeting. He dismissed allegations that the error was intentional.

House Deputy Speaker Priyo Budi Santoso ruled that though the error was unintentional and did not affect the substance of the investigation, a correction was needed. He then adjourned the meeting. It has not been decided when the meeting will be reconvened.
