Cholil wants AG replaced

JAKARTA: People's Consultative Assembly deputy speaker Cholil
Bisri supported calls that Attorney General MA Rachman be
replaced for his blatant failure to handle high-profile
corruption cases.

"It's obvious that the Attorney General's Office doesn't have
the will to probe cases involving former president Soeharto and
his cronies. It's always just the small fish," he was quoted by
Antara as saying on Sunday.

Cholil agreed with legislator Haryanto Taslam of the
Indonesian Democractic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan), who
said earlier that Rachman had failed to perform.

Cholil said that the government should evaluate the
performance of the Attorney General and his office.

"If he should be dismissed, then just do it. If we are
hesitant in combating corruption, it will cause the
disintegration of the nation," he remarked. --Antara
