Op-Ed: Not the Representatives of the Corrupt
Not the Representatives of the Corrupt
By the Kompas Editorial Board
JAKARTA, July 5, 2017. Members of the Indonesian House of Representatives are not the representatives of the corrupt. The supposedly honorable representatives of the people are paid from the people’s money.
The House Committee of Inquiry into Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission plans to go on safari to meet convicted corruption offenders in a number of prisons throughout Indonesia and this has deeply unsettled the sense of justice of citizens — taxpayers. According to the deputy chair of the House inquiry, Representative Risa Mariska, from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, “the committee wants to find information on how they felt about their treatment as witnesses, suspects and convicts of corruption offenses.” Risa is a Representative for the 6th West Java electoral district covering the regencies of Bogor and Bekasi. She received 25,578 votes.
It is very easy to find corruption convicts in prison. They will be overjoyed to tell the inquiry about how the commission behaved when they were questioned, their experience in custody, their belief they were the victims of a conspiracy, their feelings of being entrapped and any amount of other mistreatment.
Being driven by a coalition of parties supporting the government and armed with this data, the inquiry will collect ammunition for dismantling the anti-corruption body. The aim of the House inquiry at the very least can be seen from the statement of House deputy speaker Fahri Hamzah from the Prosperous Justice Party representing West Nusa Tenggara and it is to review government commissions such as the Corruption Eradication Commission. By ‘review,’ he clearly means disbanding the commission, limiting its authority or transforming it into an ad hoc agency.
The real aim of the House inquiry is obvious and it is to undermine the Corruption Eradication Commission. The declaration of some politicians that the inquiry is aimed at strengthening the commission does not have a shred of empirical evidence. From the beginning, some House of Representatives politicians have been uncomfortable with steps taken by the commission to eradicate corruption from the country. There are Representatives on trial as well as party chairs and business people who have been arrested. The commission is certainly not without fault. But the way to fix these mistakes is not to exercise the House’s right to establish inquiries of dubious legitimacy.
Members of the inquiry should realize they are representatives of the people, not representatives of the corrupt. Corrupt behavior by members of the government violates the civil and economic rights of the people. The behavior of constitutional judges who trade in Constitutional Court decisions to enrich themselves is a betrayal of the law. It is the victims of this corrupt behavior that the inquiry should be listening to and not the perpetrators of the corruption.
Unfortunately, President Joko Widodo’s pronouncements have been too weak in defending the commission. President Widodo has said only that he wants to strengthen the commission. However, President Widodo is apparently not able to intervene in the inquiry because it is a constitutional right of the House of Representatives. The fact is the direction taken by the House inquiry can only be seen as intended to delegitimize the Corruption Eradication Commission.

Töissä on YT:t ja siinä mukana olevilla on noin 10 % mahkut saada potkut.
Samalla pidetään TAOS eli ns. kehityskeskustelut ja mietin, että mahtaako joku tosissaan ajatella ihmisten kertovan ”tää homma mulla kaipaa oppimista” tai ”tää juttu ei oo mun parasta osaamista”? Vähän niinkun omaan jalkaan ampuisi.

Agriculture Minister Syahrul Yasin Limpo was officially named a suspect in an extortion case at the Ministry two days ago.
The investigators at the Corruption Eradication Commission initially brought up the possibility in June but it wasn’t made official until this week. The alleged extortion supposedly involved several high ranking Ministry officials.
A raid at the Minister’s official residence following the announcement uncovered a dozen firearms and a mix of currencies worth tens of billions of rupiahs.
Apparently during the raid they found that there was an attempt to destroy or eliminate potential evidence related to the flow of money, action that will be further investigated.
Limpo is the latest Jokowi government minister to have been implicated in corruption cases investigated by the KPK in the past year. Sports Minister Dito Ariotedjo who was only appointed this year, is currently facing questions over an alleged Rp27 billion bribe in relation to the failed 5G tower deployment project which led to the dismissal and indictment of the previous Communications Minister Johnny G. Platé last year.
Never a dull moment in Indonesian politics.

LBP: KPK sting operations give a terrible impression of this country
In a speech at the Corruption Prevention Action 2023-2024 event in Jakarta today, Coordinating Minister for Maritime and Investment Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan lamented the numerous sting operations by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) saying it gives a terrible impression of the country.
He called for greater digitalization of the country's systems to minimize the possibilities of people cheating the system and committing crimes but he also doubled down asking the KPK to ease up on the arrests because "people should be allowed to live a little." An ironic statement given at a corruption prevention summit.
