Jakarta, Feb 8 (ANTARA) - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Monday questioned legislator Panda Nababan in connection with the case of alleged bribery in the election of former Bank Indonesia (BI) senior deputy governor Miranda Goeltom in 2004.

"We needed information from Panda Nababan to complete the dossier of his case," KPK spokesman Johan Budi said on Monday.
