Court vows to erase graft

Court vows to erase graft

JAKARTA: The Constitutional Court has declared a commitment to
ensure that it is free of corruption practices.

In a modest ceremony that was attended by a number of state
officials on Wednesday, the Court judges pledged not to be
involved in graft, while launching a road map on their
commitment.

Constitutional Court president Jimly Asshidiqie said the court
must be a graft-free zone because of its important role and
function in the country.

"We will do our best to make the Constitutional Court clean
and independent," he said.

Set up last year, the Court's main jobs include reviewing laws
and settling legal disputes, such as cases during the recent
legislative and presidential elections. -- JP
