SMS: `The dispute between police and the KPK'

Your 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.

We must question why the graft cases often involved people in the institutions that should have worked to eradicate the crimes.

Therefore, both the KPK and the police need to cooperate in doing their jobs. They have to strengthen each other to eradicate corruption.

It seems so far that there has been no intermediary to settle their dispute; as such it has been deteriorating.

Wisdom for the better future is needed very badly here. Wisdom is nothing more than dispelling ignorance.

As an ad hoc body, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was established to take over the task of eliminating corruption, a task that was previously fully carried out by the police, the Attorney General's Offices, and lower ranking prosecutors' offices in all over the country.

But I agree that KPK members should also be monitored by other state institutions and any cases that involve them, like the murder case that involved the non-active KPK chief as well as the bribery allegedly involving other KPK members, should be followed to make everything clear.

But it is understandable that the dispute between the two bodies, which should have cooperated to fight corruption, will weaken the effort to fight corruption.

Therefore, the job description should be clear because we hope that the KPK really will work well to fight corruption.
