ICW to list corrupt politicians

PADANG, West Sumatra: Indonesian Corruption Watch (ICW)
chairman Teten Masduki disclosed on Thursday that his office
planned to publish a list of corrupt politicians, as well as
evidence of their misdeeds.

The publication, he said, was designed to help voters identify
which politicians should be shunned in next year's general
elections.

Teten, well-known as an anticorruption campaigner, said the
list would be published "at the right time."

He emphasized that any party that insisted on nominating
corrupt politicians as its legislator candidates would find its
image tarnished.

He called on the public and political parties to verify
legislator candidates, based on their capability, dedication and
integrity.

Unlike elections in the past, in which people voted for
political parties only, next year's election will allow people to
vote directly for prospective representatives for the House or
local legislatures. -- Antara.
