To anyone expecting heads to roll, the President warns that no one should press him to act beyond his authority, following the recommendations of his team investigating the controversial KPK case.
"We don't want our efforts to settle the issue leading to more serious problems," said President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Wednesday at the State Palace. "And don't force me as President to take measures beyond my authority," he added.
He was opening a meeting on the team's final report with a number of Cabinet ministers, the National Police chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri and Attorney General Hendarman Supandji.
Your comments:
There is something fishy about the President's comment. If there is nothing to hide, why can't he just follow the recommendation, plain and simple.
If logic prevails, put the "bad guys" behind bars and move on.
But you know, there is nothing logical about the judicial system in Indonesia. Everyone is involved one way or another, so I think he knows something, or his hands are dirty.
Wait and see, it's going to get worse and, well, maybe funnier.

The guilty party, whoever it is, now has more time to finish the puzzle of their conspiracy before they're really dragged into court. Let's see how they play. Let's see how slender their conspiracy will end up.
Gecko, you better beware and strengthen your team! And people, let's get ready to be the real law enforcers of the nation because this state is so rotten now that we can't put much hopes in any state's institutions to cure it - not even the presidential institution!
