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.
'All 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.
'The 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.
'We want to use the DPD as a conduit because they have access to the local administrations,' Ruki said.
