“The Indonesian House of Representatives Confronts the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK): Will it Blink?” by Deasy Simandjuntak

 

2017/41, 7 July 2017

Indonesian anti-graft agency, the Corruption Eradication Commission – or KPK, is under pressure by the House of Representatives which has mounted an inquiry (hak angket) against it. Under Law No. 17/2014, the House can investigate how a law or government policy which has important and strategic significance is implemented. It has requested an audit of the agency’s budget and threatened to reduce KPK’s allocation in the 2018 state-budget. This prolonged tug-of-war between the two institutions has now come into the open.
