The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has found itself looking into an abyss as a number of political decisions that activists and experts say will severely weaken the antigraft body seem set to sail through the House of Representatives.
The bill on the amendment of the KPK Law currently tabled by the House of Representatives is just part of a long-running, systematic and structured effort to paralyze the antigraft body, hence depriving the country of a chance of winning its war on corruption.
With President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo unlikely to make changes to the list of 10 candidates for the Corruption Eradication Commission’s (KPK) top posts, the burden of selecting the right people to lead the country’s fight against graft for the next four years has shifted to the House of Representatives.
President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo said he would listen to suggestions from the public as well as civil society organizations and use them to evaluate the 10 names submitted by the selection committee.
The final list comprises one incumbent Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) commissioner, one police general, one prosecutor with the Attorney General's Office, one Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) auditor, one lawyer, two academics, one judge and two civil servants.
