Third law summit to be held

JAKARTA: High-ranking officials from the country's legal
institutions are expected to attend the third law summit later
this month in a bid to join hands in eradicating corruption at
those institutions.

Supreme Court justice Abdurrahman Saleh said on Thursday that
any anticorruption drive should begin with cleansing legal
institutions from within.

"Support from other institutions are necessary, but more
important is political will from each legal institution," he said
at a press conference.

The event's attendees included Ahmad Santosa from the
Partnership for Government Reform in Indonesia and Insp. Gen.
Farouk Abdullah, head of the Police Staff College (PTIK).

Officials attending the law summit are expected to produce a
master plan on how to reform the country's legal institutions. --
