Public urged to report corruption

JAKARTA: The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI
Perjuangan) is attempting to restore its deteriorating image by
introducing a special post office box where the public can report
corruption committed by party cadres.

The address was launched on Friday less than one month after
party official Kwik Kian Gie said PDI Perjuangan was the most
corrupt party in Indonesia.

PDI Perjuangan officials said the move was designed to
determine if party cadres were involved in the corruption
disclosed by Kwik, who is the State Minister of National
Development Planning.

"We will know whether there are many party cadres who are
involved in corrupt practices," said M. Prakosa, who chairs the
party's research and development bureau, at a press briefing here
on Friday. Prakosa is the Minister of Forestry.

He suggested that people send information to P.O. Box 9000,
JKP 10900 should they know of cadres who abuse their power and
commit corruption. -- JP
