Journos walk out of KPK press conference

JAKARTA. Journalists stationed at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) walked out of a press conference on Monday as a sign of protest.

The incident took place at the KPK headquarters on Monday when KPK leaders were about to give a press conference regarding the questioning of Vice President Boediono, kontan.co.id reported.

The questioning of Boediono was part of an investigation into the Bank Century bailout, which suspiciously folded 10 times to Rp 6.7 trillion in 2008.

A journalist from a national media outlet initiated the protest during the conference and said the media would walk out because the KPK had failed to notify them about the questioning, which took place on Saturday.

“There is no transparency,” the journalist said.

After the protest, journalists then walked out of the press conference.
