RI sixth most corrupt country

From Media Indonesia

Transparency International has announced that Indonesia is the sixth most corrupt country on the list of 133 nations worldwide, with a corruption index of 1.9 (on a scale of 1 to 10). By sector, the House of Representatives (DPR) is one of the major sources of corruption through bribery and other political kickbacks.

No wonder, then that this legislative institution coveted by many former officials. Those who have enjoyed favorable positions in the New Order regime and the present period are mostly interested in serving as members of the DPR, the regional representatives council and the regional legislature.

It should be the nation's concern if major corruption really involves the DPR in view of its function to control the executive institution, which in turn is apparently drifting into graft as well. So, how to stop it?
