Indonesia's parliament to announce Gibran impeachment motion

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia's House of Representatives was due to meet on Thursday to announce a proposal to invoke its right to express an opinion on Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, after an aide reported his resignation.

The session was scheduled for 2 p.m. Jakarta time. The proposal, submitted by 120 lawmakers on Wednesday, could lead to Gibran's impeachment over questions about his education credentials.

The agenda also includes party caucuses' views on a bill setting procedures for drafting laws, proposed by the House's Legislative Body, before a vote on making it a House initiative.

Lawmakers are also scheduled to discuss extending deliberations on a statistics bill and vote on the proposed extension.

Separately, House Commission III was due to question the National Police chief about law enforcement efforts over alleged illegal wiretapping of the president.

The commission also planned to seek details of other activities allegedly carried out or directed by suspects in the illegal-interception case.

Deputy House Speaker Saan Mustopa said earlier that 120 lawmakers had formally submitted a proposal to exercise the House's right to express an opinion on Gibran's impeachment.

He said the 120 lawmakers signed the proposal based on submissions made by representatives of their respective party factions.

"A total of 120 lawmakers from eight factions have proposed exercising the right to express an opinion," Saan said at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta on Wednesday.

He said the proposal would be brought before Thursday's plenary session.
