Yusuf reelected KPKPN chief

JAKARTA: Yusuf Syakir was reelected on Thursday as the
chairman of the Public Servants' Wealth Audit Commission (KPKPN),
beating Lili Asdjudiredja, who was later appointed the deputy
chairman in charge of the judiciary branch.

After his reelection, Yusuf, who has been non-active in the
United Development Party, pledged to continue demands for a
judicial review of the Anticorruption Commission Law No. 30/2002,
as well as for the amendment of Law No. 28/1999 on clean
government.

The two laws have been perceived to be the stumbling blocks in
KPKPN's efforts to eradicate corruption, collusion and nepotism
in the country. Law No. 30/2002 orders the dissolution of KPKPN,
pending the formation of the anticorruption commission within a
year after the law comes into effect.

Besides Lili, another new face in the KPKPN leadership was M.
Wierdan, who was appointed the commission's deputy chairman in
charge of assets belonging to state company officials.

Meanwhile, Abdullah Hehamahua and Muchayat maintained their
positions as the deputy chairmen in charge of legislative and
executives branches, respectively. -- JP
