AGO pledges to follow up KPKPN's reports

JAKARTA: The Public Servants' Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN)
signed on Monday a Memorandum of Understanding with the Attorney
General's Office, under which the latter will follow up the
commission's reports on alleged corruption.

KPKPN chairman Yusuf Syakir said that the MOU was necessary in
the absence of a regulation authorizing the commission to take
legal measures against public servants suspected of involvement
in corruption.

"If we find indications (of corruption), KPKPN will hold an
internal expose together with state prosecutors to analyze the
reports," Yusuf told reporters after the signing ceremony at
KPKPN's office in Jl. Juanda, Central Jakarta.

Attorney General M. A. Rachman said that his office would
assign prosecutors who had experience in handling corruption
cases to follow up KPKPN reports.

Yusuf said his office would also sign an agreement to work in
cooperation with the police and the Indonesian Military (TNI).
