IPW recommends three names, new KPK leaders

The Indonesian Police Watch (IPW) has recommended three names to fill the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) leadership positions: Bambang Widjajanto, Handoyo Sudrajat and Abdullah Hehamahua.

“These three people have what it takes [to be KPK leaders], integrity, intelligence, agility and courage,” IPW coordinator Neta S Pane said Monday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Bambang Widjojanto is a lawyer cum activist who joined Indonesia Corruption Watch's advisory board with dozens of other graft activists.

Abdullah Hehamahua is a KPK advisor, known for his continued support toward the graft fighting effort. Handoyo Sudrajat is currently KPK’s director of internal affairs.

The government announced eight KPK leader candidates. They will soon be taken to the House’s law commission for further examination. Those who pass will be installed as the new KPK leaders, accompanying KPK chief Busyro Muqoddas, who has been appointed earlier.
