KPK is supposed to spear the big fish. When KPK receives reports from the public about lower level corruption, such reports are generally delegated down to the cops and the attorney general's office/local prosecution offices. Conversely, when the cops/jaksa agung are too weak to manage an indictment/prosecution, such cases are sometimes delegated to KPK. At the height of reformasi demands in mid-1998, Sutiyoso admitted that if he fired all of his corrupt staff he would have no staff left.

14 cases in a year ... so not making any impact. Do you think it would work better if they had one team looking at the big fish / high profile cases and another team that looks at the millions of low level graft? I would think that with a good media campaign telling people of their rights followed by a lot of shots of low level tax, manpower, immigration people being arrested would send the right message.

"since it started in 2003" is a bit unfair. KPK’s creation was mandated in a 2002 law, but it wasn’t until late September 2003 (after promises of foreign aid) that Megawati finally issued a decree commissioning a committee to select KPK’s five leaders. The five were appointed in the last week of December 2003. Due to delays in the flow of funding for infrastructure and support staff, KPK took over six months to get into action. How many people has KPK successfully prosecuted?
