The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Wed, 11/16/2011 10:48 AM

Three suspects in a graft case implicating Manpower and Transmigration Minister Muhaimin Iskandar are scheduled to attend their first hearing at Central Jakarta District Court on Wednesday.

The three suspects include the secretary to the ministry's directorate general for transmigration area development, I Nyoman Suisnaya, evaluation and report unit chief Dadong Irbarelawan and PT Alam Jaya Papua employee Dharnawati.

Nyoman was arrested prior to the delivery of an alleged bribe worth Rp 1.5 billion (US$166,500) from Dharnawati.

The money is said to have been paid to clinch a Rp 73 billion deal to build infrastructure projects in resettlement areas in Papua that were proposed by the ministry.
