175 sign up for commission seats

JAKARTA: A total of 175 potential candidates have signed up to become members of the Prosecutors Commission at the close of the registration on Monday.

Attorney General's Office (AGO) spokesman Ria Fadjaria said on Monday that a committee chaired by the office's deputy for supervision Achmad Lopa would carry out the selection process of the candidates.

The results from the selection will be announced on April 3 and 4.

Most of the 175 people are former police officers, military officers, legal consultants, former prosecutors, judges and lawyers.

Once selected as members of the commission, they will have to carry out their main duty to supervise prosecutors and the prosecutorial institutions across the country. -- JP
