AKARTA: Leadership of the Regional Representatives Council (DPD) and commissioners of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) held a closed door meeting on Friday to forge a cooperation to combat graft.

'€œAll KPK commissioners took part in the meeting to discuss various issues as corruption is a rampant problem that has to be solved,'€ DPD speaker Irman Gusman said prior to the meeting.

Irman said that the DPD had agreed to join the fight against corruption.

'€œThe KPK requested the meeting,'€ he said.

Speaking after the meeting, interim KPK chairman Taufiequrachman Ruki said that the KPK wanted the DPD to aid corruption prevention efforts in the management of natural resources in the region.

'€œWe want to use the DPD as a conduit because they have access to the local administrations,'€ Ruki said.
