Antigraft operation on the move

Antigraft operation on the move

From Kompas

As the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was trying to escalate its antigraft operation, on May 19 the central boards of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah signed a statement giving moral support to this legal action against corruption.

The next morning, the case of alleged corruption in the Ministry of Religious Affairs started to be exposed, along with the detention of chairman of the General Elections Commission in an earlier case of embezzlement.

In the following days, according to television reports, graft cases will also be unveiled in other ministries, institutions and agencies. The anticorruption banner is now again being flown, which is certainly based on genuine conscience, high courage and consistency.

Let us appeal to the fearless KPK to carry on its battle and never retreat. The Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) should also examine the distribution of fuel subsidy funds (for the poor) so that the struggle for survival of ordinary people will not be rendered futile by the fuel price increase.
