	Giving the military the right to vote
		House of Representatives (DPR) speaker Akbar Tanjung says members of the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) and National Police must be given the right to vote in general elections once the security forces are removed from politics.
		Tanjung, who is also chairman of Golkar Party, said Tuesday (11/6/02) the military/police would lose their seats in the DPR by 2004 and must therefore be given the right to vote.
		Tanjung's comments come as the House debates a series of political bills introduced by the government in preparation for the next general election in June 2004.

		Akbar Tanjung may be free, but a Supreme Court judge says he took part in a corrupt practice, writes Matthew Moore.
		Mr Akbar's success in finally clearing his name in the courts opens the way for him to be nominated as the presidential candidate for the Golkar Party of former president Soeharto.
		The five judges ruled that as a minister in the Habibie cabinet in 1999, Akbar Tanjung could not be held responsible for the disappearance of nearly $7 million, which was intended as aid for the poor.

		Mr Akbar, 59, was previously convicted by a Jakarta District Court in 2002 of misusing 40 billion rupiah (HK$37 million) of state funds in 1999 which was intended to help feed the poor.
		Mr Akbar is now free to seek the nomination of former president Soeharto's Golkar party, which he chairs, although he will have to defeat other candidates, including former military commander General Wiranto, to win it.
		Mr Akbar, who faced a three-year jail term, had consistently maintained his innocence in the case, which involved the alleged misuse of funds from the state food agency, Bulog, in 1999.

		Tanjung, who also chairs the Golkar party that was former president Suharto's ruling vehicle, was convicted in 2002 of embezzling Rp40 billion (US$4.8 million) and sentenced to three years in jail.
		Tanjung, who first denied that he'd ever received any checks, testified that he gave the money to an obscure foundation with no experience in food distribution headed by Dadang Ruskandar that passed the funds along to a businessman, Winfried Simatupang, to carry out the program.
		Tanjung's Golkar and Megawati's PDI-P are expected to be the top vote getters in the legislative elections set for April 5, and they'll likely top the presidential poll on July 5.

		Akbar was sentenced to three years in jail, but had remained free and continued to hold his top government and political jobs.

		Tanjung has admitted channeling the money but claims it was transferred to meet basic needs of the poor during the peak of the economic crisis in 1999.
		Tanjung, however, after being charged, had a meeting with Megawati's husband, businessman and legislator Taufik Kiemas, to seek assurances that the president's PDI-P would not back calls to establish a Pansus (special parliamentary committee) to investigate this second scandal.

		Akbar, was elected speaker of the 500 seat legislature, is a candidate for vice-president--and even a long-shot for president should a deadlock emerge among the three presidential candidates: incumbent President B.J. Habibie, populist Megawati Sukarnoputri and Muslim leader Abdurrahman Wahid.
		Megawati met Akbar on October 5 and, say Golkar aides, offered him the vice-presidency with a "full mandate to run everything" in return for him backing her as president.
		Akbar dismisses worries that Golkar's presence in a new governing coalition will slow the momentum of reform.
