Comments on other issues: New detectives may hamper KPK probes

F

strong>Feb. 23, p3

Doubts are mounting over the Corruption Eradication Commission'€™s (KPK) commitment to pursuing high-profile cases following a plan to assign new police investigators to assist the antigraft body at the request of its new leadership. Antigraft campaigners have voiced pessimism over the future of high-profile graft investigations under the new leadership.


Your comments:

Why do the new KPK investigators have to come from the police?

Why not appoint civilians? Start looking among the private investigators, auditors and accountants, for example.

Terry McAsee

With police corruption at an all-time high, it leaves to question how many more cases will be brought against the police and the political elite.

The likelihood of any more cases is slim to none, now that new puppets have been installed as KPK leaders as well as the addition of 50 selected police officers.  

Keep in mind that these are the same police officers that supported the dirty cop, Budi Gunawan, in his illegal pretrial hearing a week ago.

The KPK is no longer a legitimate corruption eradication agency. Instead, it has been downgraded to a tax burden for the people.  It has no real function.

Sure, there will still be cases, but they will concern the few politicians who do not follow party lines.
