our comments on the prolonged dispute between the police and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), as police plan to question KPK leaders and executives following the arrest of the chief of the anticorruption body as part of a murder case.

The Police are one of the least credible institutions in Indonesia and once again are playing at politics in summoning KPK staff.

Why can't investigating police simply visit the KPK offices and collect testimonies?

This grandstanding by Police aims to gain the applause of anti-KPK elements and begs the question: Why is there no Minister of Police in the SBY Cabinet? - certainly not a retired or serving Police official!

In my opinion, nothing is above the law in this country, they must obey the law, the Commission is no exception. If the leadership of the Commission not guilty, they should meet the police calls. This will be a good legal education for the community.

The rivalry between the Police and the KPK has weakened our national effort to eradicate corruption. Antasari's escapades have created a big dent in the KPK's image.

If the suspect who claims to have paid out bribes to the KPK commissioners has been arrested and interrogated, the hearing of the implicated KPK members would be justified. Eventually if there is no ground for the allegations, the police must immediately close the case, to enable the KPK to continue there important mission.

Corruption must be wiped out forever!

Nobody should be above the law, so there is nothing wrong if the police want to question all KPK leaders over a graft case, as long as it is done in a lawful manner.

The dispute between the police and the Corruption Eradication Commission is like the saying, "A thief shouting thief," (maling teriak maling). And the people will benefit.
