Ex-wealth auditors reject disbandment

JAKARTA: Several members of the now-defunct Public Servants'
Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN) are challenging a 2003
presidential decree that dissolved it and established the
Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

During a press conference on Tuesday, former KPKPN member
Petrus Selestinus said the group would file a lawsuit against the
government with the State Administrative Court if they were not
incorporated into the newer commission.

Under Law No. 30/2004 on the KPK, the KPKPN was to have been
merged with the new anticorruption commission.

Meanwhile, the KPK has appointed the University of Indonesia's
school of psychology to select former KPKPN members who qualify
for a post at the KPK. -- JP
