KPU: For money or devotion?<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
The news that the monthly salary of members of the General
\nElections Commission (KPU) is over Rp 10 million and that the KPU
\nwill also build 10 houses worth about Rp 1 billion each surprised
\nme. The question arises: Is service on the commission meant to
\nearn a living or for devotion to the country?<\/p>\n
At the initial stage of selection to the commission,
\ncandidates should have been asked about their motivation for
\nwanting to join the KPU, whether they would work for money or out
\nof service to the public, and be prepared to receive Rp 2 million
\na month for working 10 hours a day without free housing.<\/p>\n
What about the salaries of the members of the Corruption
\nEradication Commission? I have qualified as a candidate for the
\ncommission's leadership. On the registration form, I firmly
\ndeclared that I was motivated solely by devotion to the country
\nand was ready to receive a salary of only Rp 1,750,000 per month
\nfor working 10 hours a day without the free use of a car or
\nhouse.<\/p>\n
If I had intended to seek a big salary, I would have returned
\nto my previous job in the U.S.<\/p>\n
