Text your say: People against plan to revise KPK law
No way: A number of university studentas and alumni groups in the anticorruption movement along with several leaders of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stage a protest before the KPK building against a plan by the House of Representatives to revise the 2002 KPK Law, a move many say could weaken the fight against corruption in the future

Your comments on the House's plan to drop the KPK law revision if President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo does not give his approval:
This would have the worst impact on this country! Those jokers in the House, especially Fahri Hamzah PKS and Megawati PDI-P, should be kicked out. They are the epitome of stupidity.
Nancy Suwu
That the House of Representatives will drop plans if the President rejects the revision bill means that the lawmakers do not know about the purpose of the House in our system. How can it be that you do not know what you have to do over there at the House, while you are paid by the poor people's money?
E. Nurdin
The members of this House, none of them innocent of corruption, certainly desire this eradicator of corruption, the KPK, to be erased from the nation.
But, being also craven cowards, all of them, are now trying to save face by giving the impression that they are only obeying their President in dropping their plan to tame the KPK, rather than courageously admitting that they were wrong in proposing this revision. They are only worthy of disdain and ridicule. Was this what we all voted for?
Hadi
Together we have been trying to improve our KPK; likewise, our 'bad seeds' are trying to abolish its existence.
We should indeed be aware of this, as we still have a long way to go to undo the problems of corruption in the nation.
