Kudos for the legislature

Even as it approaches the end of its term, the House of
Representatives is earning the public's well-deserved recognition
for doing its best to serve the people's interests and by
demonstrating its commitment to helping bring about good
governance in this country. This is demonstrated in particular
through its investigation of the case which has since become
widely known as the Bank Bali scandal.

We are aware of the urgency of the accumulating tasks and
responsibilities which it has to bear, and it is for this reason
that we have always tried to provide input that may help the
government set the right priorities and keep in mind that its
first and foremost duty is to lead Indonesia toward democracy.

It is in this context that we call on anyone who is either
involved or has any knowledge relevant to the Bank Bali case to
provide true information so that a faithful picture of the matter
may be obtained.

The House of Representative's exertions, however, will not be
able to yield the desired results, unless other supporting
institutions and agencies display the same determined stance and
commitment. Among those institutions, the Supreme Audit Agency
(BPK), the police, the public prosecutors' offices and even
professing lawyers in general are currently in the public
spotlight.
