"The message from Mas Pram on ​​catching an active minister, give us half a year, the dream will come true," Bambang when he was speaker at a media discussion entitled “The existence of KPK in the Eradication of Corruption in Indonesia”, at the KPK office on Tuesday. Bambang made his statement in response to a comment made by Deputy Speaker of the House (DPR), Pramono Anung, a fellow speaker at the discussion. While Pramono appreciated the bold and firm steps taken by KPK to catch a number of senior officials related to the corruption cases they handled.
