AGO seeks members for key commission

JAKARTA: The Attorney General's Office (AGO) will open
registrations for potential candidates for the Prosecutors
Commission from March 16 to 26.

AGO spokesman R.J. Soehandoyo was quoted by Antara as saying
on Tuesday that a presidential decree on the establishment of the
commission had been issued recently.

He said that all members of the Indonesian Law Society were
allowed to register, but the AGO would shortlist only 14
candidates to be proposed to the president, who would then select
seven names to become members of the commission for a four-year
period.

The tasks of the commission will be to oversee and evaluate
the performance of the country's prosecutors, whose image has
long been tarnished by corruption. The commission will also
handle human resources at the office. -- Antara
