Sept. 25, Online

Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) spokesman Johan Budi SP says KPK investigators have arrested Riau Governor Annas Maamun and eight others over corruption allegations. He said the KPK had also confiscated a bundle of cash in rupiah and Singapore dollar denominations, but was unable to reveal how much money had been confiscated. '€œWe'€™re still counting the money right now,'€ Johan told a press conference on Thursday night.

Your comments:

Next will be the declaration of ill health and statement that he is unable to be questioned. Then it will be the toothache.

Then this excuse and then that excuse. In the meantime, the defense gets more time to convince witnesses to change their minds.

So now the KPK is starting on provincial governors '€” that should keep them busy!
