The House of Representatives' apparent animosity toward the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is intensifying as more and more lawmakers become embroiled in corruption scandals.

During a hearing with House Commission III overseeing legal affairs on the revision to the 2013 state budget on Wednesday, the antigraft agency was reminded that the House held control of its budget.

Your comments:


The actions and attitude of some lawmakers now reveal their true character: Corrupt, weak and lazy people, who actively work against the greater good of the nation to satisfy their personal greed.

All the more reason for the rest of Indonesia to band together and defend the KPK, because they're obviously stepping on the right toes and putting the villains on the back foot now.

Soe

Of course, corrupt people will try to suppress the actions of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

It's called running scared.
