Corruption suspicions<\/p>\n
The detention of General Elections Commission (KPU) member
\nMulyana W. Kusumah for allegedly bribing a Supreme Audit Agency
\n(BPK) official is currently still in the initial investigative
\nphase.<\/p>\n
Accusations of corruption at the KPU are still unclear. What
\nis coming to the fore is the suspicion that the alleged bribery
\nwas intended to conceal \"something\". The BPK's audit of the KPU
\nhas not been completed, and thus if the Corruption Eradication
\nCommission (KPK) insists on immediately pursuing the case then
\ntheir investigation would be dependent on Mulyana's testimony.<\/p>\n
The case seems a bit dramatic. In fact there is a sense that
\nit is being dramatized. Many are surprised that it involves an
\nindividual known for his commitment to truth and justice.<\/p>\n
Hence there is a growing belief that the priority should not
\nbe to arrest Mulyana, but rather a full investigation into the
\nKPU.<\/p>\n
There are those who claim that as a result of this case the
\nbanner of corruption eradication is flying high. Those people are
\nmistaken. A long queue of major cases have been frozen or shelved
\n-- maybe because they are \"protected\".
