Analysis: Indonesia to weaken corruption watch dog that's too good at its job | jamesmassola

But that's exactly what's happening in Indonesia at the moment, as the country's national parliament works through a bill that would weaken the country's anti-corruption body, the Corruption Eradication Commission .

In this context, the KPK's role as the body designed to find, fight and prosecute corruption is vital. But it is regularly the source of criticism from other government bodies and institutions, to the point where even its own commissioners and investigators cannot operate safely. At the same time, as the end of the five year term of the body's five commissioners approaches in December, there is dismay at the appointment of Firli Bahuri as the new KPK chairman because of accusations of ethics violations in his previous stint at the KPK, and while working for the South Sumatra police.
