Anti-corruption, judicial mafia measures are country's homework: President

Infrastructure development, judicial mafia and corruption eradication remain the country's tasks to be accomplished, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Monday.

"These are all homeworks that we have to do in the second wave of reform," he said, adding that the whole nation can do it.

"I ask the whole of the nation's elements, let us overcome and finalize this homework," he said in his state address on Monday.

The president delivered his first state address in his second term as president during the joint plenary session of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the Regional Representatives Council (DPD).

In infrastructure development, the president said that the challenge lied in mobilizing "substantial funds that we need every year for infrastructure development all over Indonesia".

He added that corruption can still be found in the "rank and file of various government apparatuses, state institutions and the business circle". (Gzl)
