AGO to submit names of watchdog members

JAKARTA: Attorney General Abdul Rachman Saleh said on Monday that he would present the names of candidate members and the organizational structure of the proposed public prosecution service commission to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the next two weeks.

After a meeting with Vice President Jusuf Kalla here on Monday, Abdul Rachman said the commission was aimed at overseeing the performance of prosecutors across the country.

"The President will appoint between seven and nine people to sit as members of the commission, and, hopefully, this will happen not long after I submit the names of the candidate members," Abdul said.

The establishment of the commission is intended to help bring about improvements in the integrity and probity of the country's prosecutors.--JP
