KPKPN must go on

KPKPN must go on

From Media Indonesia

While thieves are frequently caught by crowds and beaten
black-and-blue or even burned alive, corruptors who have misused
trillions of rupiah are mostly left unscathed. What about the law
enforcers? How should they deal with them? Of course, they should
be dealt with by institutes/commissions/committees and the like,
rather than the masses.

Therefore, the more commissions are set up the better, so that
if one commission fails to catch corruptors the others will take
over the job. As such, commissions like the Public Servants
Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN) should not be dissolved. And
other anticorruption committees should be established, as long as
they are professional, effective and efficient.

We are fed up with the rampant corruption since the New Order
regime, and the failure to eradicate corruption has been
disappointing, owing to the lack of courage, professionalism,
effectiveness and efficiency. In fact, the KPKPN has been
relatively successful.

Let us all work together to eliminate corruption because it is
a parasite and our nation has been left behind by other
countries. In 1961 Indonesia was level with South Korea in terms
of economic development, while our natural resources were more
abundant. But that country has been successful in its fight
against corruption.
