Show corruptors on TV

From Kontan

Every day we can watch reports on criminal cases on TV.
Unfortunately, the cases reported are limited to theft, rape,
drug abuse and trafficking, robbery and the like.

It would be useful for TV viewers to be able to watch reports
on corruption. The airing of reports on corruption cases would
contribute favorably to our economic recovery efforts.

Of course, in this context, the principle of presumption of
innocence must be strictly adhered to. But, then, do not let
justice be discriminative: someone implicated in a corruption
case can walk free while another person caught stealing a chicken
worth no more than Rp 20,000 is sentenced to three months in
prison.
