One of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY)'s success teams, the "SBY for President Task Force", has officially denied receiving "even a single cent" of the controversial Bank Century funds.
"This is a formal clarification from us in view of the slanderous allegations that have seriously disturbed us," the Task Force's secretary general, Hencky Luntungan, said here on Tuesday (Dec.8).
Luntungan said the team was insulted by the slanderous statements spread by various parties that Yudhoyono's victory in the 2009 presidential election was helped by the flow of funds from Bank Century.
He said "not a single cent from other parties was received by Yudhoyono's success team except from SBY's party."
"We had our own funds for six months since the preparation, consolidation across Indonesia, until the end of the presidential election," Luntungan said.
He added that if it was eventually proven that funds from Bank Century had in reality flown into the purses of certain individuals, the matter could be legally processed.
"Remember, if the funds were received by individuals, we will support efforts to process the matter legally," Luntungan said.
Asked about the plan of a number of civil society organizations to hold a peaceful rally on World Anti corruption Day on Wednesday, Dec 9, 2009, Luntungan said his team would support it "one hundred percent."
"We will support it so long as it is not conducted in anarchic manner," said the functionary of the Indonesian National Students Movement Presidium.
He said the mass rally planned for Wednesday was part of the fair practice of democracy for people's welfare.
