From Akbar to BLBI funds

A verdict has been handed down to Akbar in relation to the misuse of Rp 40 billion in State Logistics Agency (Bulog) funds.

The judges seem to convey that now it is time for equality before the law. But there is still the issue of larger losses to the state -- the case of the Bank Indonesia liquidity funds (BLBI). Not all suspects have been arrested. Most of them are still at large.

We will salute these law enforcers if all the suspects are arrested, tried and given a harsh sentence.
