The hubris over the alleged corruption case of the electronic based ID card (e-KTP) project comes under the limelight again. The handling of the case, suspected to have resulted in Rp 2 trillion of state loss, has been regarded as slow.
The former Director General of Population and Civil Registry of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Irman, on 30 September 2016, was officially designated as suspect. Irman allegedly inflated the price in the e-KTP.
2015 can be considered as the most difficult year to promote the anti-corruption agenda. A new leader does not necessarily mean a bigger hope. It probably does in the beginning, but the political reality will slowly destroy public sentiment that dreams that under the new President, Indonesia will be braver to fight corruption. On the contrary, the reality is just the opposite of that dream. Efforts made from various perspectives and forces to discourage the anti-corruption agenda are increasingly evident. The result is a setback for anti-corruption movements.
Police Chief General Badrodin Haiti is due to enter his retirement in July 2016 at the age of 58. Naturally, controversies ensue regarding the necessity to prolong the retirement age of the Police Chief. Otherwise, who would be the right candidate to take the office?
