Since House Speaker Setya Novanto was named a suspect in an e-ID graft case on Monday,  five sarcastic posts related to the KPK have been posted on the House’s Instagram account, the address of which is @dpr_ri. Comments from several experts were quoted in the posts.

The latest post, which says “KPK kerjanya nguping” (The KPK can keep an ear to the ground only), was posted on Wednesday and has received at least 3,000 comments, most of which are negative, as of 12:30 p.m. on Thursday.

KPK KERJANYA NGUPING "Kerja KPK hampir semua bergantung pada alat sadap, kemudian ditindaklanjuti OTT, maka sudah pasti yang didapat nilainya kecil, coba KPK bekerja dengan nalar hukum yang canggih dengan mendasarkan pada hasil audit BPK, pasti (korupsi) yang dibongkar nilainya ratusan milyar bahkan triliunan," M. Amin Fahrudin, SH, MH. #AngketKPK

“Aren’t people’s representatives supposed to contribute to graft eradication, even only by wiretapping?” someone with the account @reyzaldiel wrote in a comment box.

The post was screenshot and posted by a Hellena Y. Souisa onto her Twitter account, with a message: “Please clarify @DPR_RI, what's the meaning behind this post?"

Two other posts on @dpr_ri contain pictures carrying messages, which read “KPK is too scared to face the House inquiry special committee” and “Special Committee will keep going."

Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) activist Tama S. Langkun said the posts showed the House did not manage its official social media account wisely.

“People will feel disappointed to have entrusted their mandate to the House if it makes such posts on its social media account,” Tama told The Jakarta Post on Thursday. (yon/ebf)
