A pure question of justice

A pure question of justice

It appears to be easy to legally process allegations of former president Soeharto's involvement in cases of corruption, collusion and nepotism. The former president failed to respond to a summons from the Attorney General's Office for reasons of ill health. This is indeed not an easy process. It could be possible that psychological barriers are making it difficult for officers of the Attorney General's Office to question the country's ex- number one authority.

It should be remembered, though, that a legal process is not aimed at finding fault "at any cost". Neither is it a question of compassion or respect. At issue in this case is justice and this is the challenge that our law enforcers must answer -- particularly those at the Attorney General's Office.
