VP backs judicial review on new law<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: Vice President Hamzah Haz expressed on Wednesday his
\nsupport for the Public Servants' Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN)
\nin its effort to seek a Supreme Court judicial review of the new
\nLaw on the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPTPK).<\/p>\n
After meeting with Hamzah, KPKPN member Lili Asjudireja said
\nHamzah had acknowledged that the judicial review request was part
\nof the effort to find a better mechanism for eradicating
\ncorruption.<\/p>\n
According to Lili, Hamzah said there should be two commissions
\nto handle corruption cases, one being the KPKPN, which would
\nprevent corruption, and the other the KPTPK, which would
\ninvestigate corruption.<\/p>\n
\"If the two commissions could collaborate, corruption cases
\nwould not need to go to the police and Attorney General's Office,
\nbut could go directly to the court as the combination of the two
\ncommissions would give them powers ranging from investigation to
\nprosecution,\" he said.<\/p>\n
As things stand, however, the new law on the KPTPK requires
\nthe dissolution of the KPKPN once the KPTPK has been
\nestablished.-- Antara<\/p>",
