House resumes hearing with National Police, AGO, KPK

The House of Representatives Commission III overseeing legal affairs resumed its hearing Thursday with the National Police, Attorney General's Office (AGO), and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

The hearing is a continuation from the one which took place Wednesday. National Police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri and Attorney General Hendarman Supandji are expected to respond to the recommendations from the KPK debacle fact-finding team.

The debacle revolves around an alleged conspiracy between a number of high-ranking officials from the police and the AGO to frame two KPK suspended deputy chairmen, Chandra M. Hamzah and Bibit Samad Riyanto, for bribery.

The team has insisted that, due to lack of evidence, the case against Chandra and Bibit should be dropped, and law enforcement bodies should reform their institutions.
