Your comments on the plan of the Attorney General's Office (AGO), the National Police and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to establish a joint anticorruption task force to carry out joint investigations into certain graft cases amid rumors of conflict between the three.

The agreement among the AGO, the KPK and the National Police to establish a joint anticorruption task force is just a memorandum of understanding.
They understand each other and that's all. Don't expect more.
