CGI slammed

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze. The International NGO Forum on Indonesian Development (INFID) and Vice President Hamzah Haz have the unmitigated gall to complain that the Consultative Group on Indonesia (CGI) has failed to address measures needed to tackle the country's huge debt.

In fact, the CGI meeting emphasized strongly throughout that the initiation of the debt was corruption and that the continuing problem is still corruption.

The powers-to-be, still the powers that were, continue to wear blinkers and deny the truth and steadfastly refuse to take action, legal or otherwise, against those who were and are still stealing from the people and the country. Either start filling up the jails or shut up.
