Jakarta. Former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, or SBY, has invited Indonesian netizens to discuss the government's plans of revising a law regulating the Corruption Eradication Commission, or KPK.
According
to Democratic Party secretary general Hinca Panjaitan, the meeting is scheduled
to take place at Raffles-Hill, Cibubur, in East Jakarta on Saturday (20/02),
correcting a previous announcement saying it will be held on Tuesday.
The meeting
will collect the public's opinions on revisions of the KPK Law, which allegedly
attempt to weaken the anti-graft agency.
Lawmakers
have proposed four revisions that would alter the scope of the KPK's powers in
the following areas: methods of conducting investigations, wiretapping,
recruitment protocols and the establishment of a supervisory body to monitor
the KPK
“SBY, Democratic
Politicians and its party faction at the House of Representatives will directly
meet and discuss with netizens. This is a way for the Democratic Party to
articulate people's aspirations, which will be carried to a plenary meeting at
the House,” Democratic Party spokeswoman Imelda Sari said in a statement.
In his
twitter account, SBY started to collect comments and aspirations from netizens
about the amendments with the hashtag #uukpksby.
"Regarding
revisions on the KPK Law, what are your thoughts? Do you agree/disagree? Why?
If you agree, what needs to be changed/expanded
on?" he tweeted.
Terkait revisi UU KPK, apa pendapat anda? Setuju/tidak? Mengapa? Jika setuju, materi apa yg perlu diubah/ditambah? #uukpksby— S. B. Yudhoyono (@SBYudhoyono) February 13, 2016
