Disband the entire institution and start from scratch. Replace all the people with those who have no interest in politics. A wise man once said "He who wants to be elected, should by that very desire be disqualified". COLIN

This country should build a detention house the size of a shopping mall and call itof Shame", to jail all the corruptors in this country. HENDRIK
Jakarta

Whywe chop their heads off like in China to scare the rest of them off. And confiscate all their money and use it to build infrastructure! LINDA

The only way is to find "honesty". We lost honesty a long time ago in this country. DAHLIA YUANA
Tasikmalaya, West Java

Punishment must be at least 20 years jail and the fine should amount to at least double what the bribe they received was worth. Political parties with more than one legislator involved in grafts should be banned from taking part in the next election. CHARLIE
Bekasi

I think every legislator has a chance to practice corruption. Their position can make them feel so powerful. The Corruption Eradication Commission should go ahead with its actions. DAMERIA

Corruption is a disaster. It kills people due to starvation. Many House members are dirty. Amin, who has been arrested, was just unlucky. The KPK is now becoming popular. It deserves to for its good work. ANI SAVITRI

The best way to stop corruption is to make a law giving life imprisonment to the corruptors. MIKE

In the Amin case, corruption occurred when there was an opportunity, not because of low salaries. RONALD SAGALA
Pontianak, West Kalimantan

I bet it's not going to take too long to release Amin because there is a secret connection inside the House of Representatives, That's right,it? MYA

He should be embarrassed for what he has done and as a part of Jambi society, I hope Kristina will divorce him. He is not a man after all. SETYAWATI

Bravo KPK! There are still many other people like this in the House of Representatives. They sit as legislators just to enrich themselves. SOFYAN
Jakarta

There must be a law ruling that a house member should be punished to death for such a violation. BERKAH
Semarang

We can't do anything. It depends on each person's integrity. If all House members work only for the betterment of the country and not for their own pockets, I'm sure that this country will move forward. SUSAN
Jakarta

Bribery cases won't end in the House if there's no heavy punishment for them. Take China for example: those who take bribes get capital punishment. FAJAR JAJULI
Bandung

The rampant graft in the House indicates that the legislative institution is too powerful. We should reduce the legislative's power and choose good people for these positions. Unfortunately, only a few good men are available in this country. ABDUL MUIS MADKHAN
Tangerang, Banten

The KPK should work hard to stop all the deviant members of the House. Bravo KPK! HARIYANTO
Yogyakarta

First, well done to the KPK and shame on the legislator(s)! The government should form a committee tasked to audit the properties and bank accounts owned by all legislators, to be reported every six months. The result should be published through the media. YOSEVA SILAEN
Jakarta

To curb corruption in the House, there should be an agency to monitor the financial records of each member. BONAR SILALAHI
Bandung

The government should give a heavy punishment to whoever commits such crimes. Just hang them. LINTANG M,P
