Comment: Another of Atut'€™s relatives implicated in graft

O

ct. 24, p1

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has launched an investigation into alleged corruption in the administration of South Tangerang Mayor Airin Rachmi Diani, the sister in-law of controversial Banten Governor Ratu Atut Chosiyah.

The KPK made the move amid allegations that Atut and her family members '€” who lead several regencies and districts in the province '€” have indulged in systematic corruption to maintain the clan'€™s political power.

Your comments:

Members of the whole dynasty got where they are by putting on this super religious image. If it is proven that they have really stolen from the people (and there are a lot of poor people in Banten) while pretending to be pious, then they have brought shame to Indonesia, shame to Banten and shame to Islam.

We should make an example of them so that such a thing never happens again.
