Indonesias graft now more sophisticated - Officials

KPK is supposed to spear the big fish. When KPK receives reports from the public about lower level corruption, such reports are generally delegated down to the cops and the attorney general's office/local prosecution offices. Conversely, when the cops/jaksa agung are too weak to manage an indictment/prosecution, such cases are sometimes delegated to KPK.

At the height of reformasi demands in mid-1998, Sutiyoso admitted that if he fired all of his corrupt staff he would have no staff left. Imperative to abandon the mentality of slavish obsequiousness to authority. Also imperative to get cleaner bosses into kopri, ministries, govt agencies and the security forces/police, with orders to weed out their most crooked subordinates (and tossing them in jail for a long time). Won't happen in our lifetime though (I'm 78, you see). There's as much chance as:

Getting the Suharto clan, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, Hendropriyono, Wiranto, Prabowo, crooked former governors, generals, police chiefs, my former landlady and many others against the wall and shooting them.

Current KKN system is vastly more tolerable than the prospect of Shariah-led KKN.
