There is a moment in every abusive marriage where the woman wakes up one day and realizes she has married a violent person. I believe that is the situation that the Indonesian voting public now finds itself in.
Jokowi, that humble, clean-living furniture trader from Solo has agreed to dismember the Corruption Eradication Commissio (KPK) and all corruption eradication efforts in Indonesia so his political patrons can loot Indonesia with impunity.
Like the battered wife who sees years of horror stretch out before her, Indonesians now face five long years of corruption and graft from the National Police.
What a sobering moment it is.

Power tends to corrupt and absolute power will absolutely result in corruption.

Why wasn't this highlighted during and before the presidential elections? This clearly shows that corruption is alive and well in Indonesia and most (if not all) politicians want it this way.
The work of the KPK shows that everybody is corrupt ' there is no question about it.
Some reform and see the errors of their ways and try to make up for it, but if you dig deep and far enough, you'll find dirt in everyone's history.
