TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Coalition of Anti-Corruption Civilians hoped that the selection committee of Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) leader candidates would be transparent in conducting the selection process. The coalition also called on public to watch the ongoing selection.
“Public’s involvement would make the selection of KPK leader candidates more transparent,” Choky Ramadhan, a member of Indonesia Justice Observer Community on Sunday, August 31, 2014.
According to Choky, the selection committee transparency would make the selection process even tighter since public would be involved in assessing and monitoring the candidates’ track records.
Public’s assessment on the candidates would become a useful input for the committee. In addition, Choky said, public’s involvement would ensure that the candidates would have no negative sentiment against the elected candidate.
Earlier, one of KPK leaders, Busro Muqoddas, announced his retirement starting from November 2014.
The selection committee, headed by Imam Prasodjo, opened the selection registration for KPK leader candidates started from August 15 to September 3, 2014. Currently there are five candidates returning the registration forms.
