KPK, council unite in antigraft drive

JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the
City Council have agreed to work together to fight corruption in
the council.

The draft of the agreement was discussed by KPK monitoring
director Roni M. Maulana and council speaker Ade Surapriatna
during a meeting at the council building on Jl. Kebon Sirih in
Central Jakarta on Tuesday.

"The council leaders agreed that we will study the
organization of the council so we can better understand how to
prevent corruption there," Roni said after a meeting with council
leaders.

He said the KPK also hoped to cooperate with other regional
councils across the country in fighting corruption.

Roni did not provide any details on the cooperation, but said
it would include studying the different offices in the council to
better understand their problems and how to overcome them. --JP
