Anti-corruption Court in Provinces Not Needed
- VIVAnews/Anhar Rizki Affandi
VIVAnews - Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia, Mahfud MD, recommends dismissal of provincial Anti-corruption courts.
Provincial anti-corruption courts are still deemed poor at quality compared to public courts.
"Anti-corruption courts in the provinces are at times supported by incapable officials. The courts are also subject to weak monitoring," he said.
Mahfud said it is best for the Anti-corruption court to function only in the Indonesian capital.
Anti-corruption courts in the provinces, said Mahfud, were part of the interpretation over Constitional Court's verdict on Corruption Eradication Commission.
"On the 19th of December, 2006, the Constitutional Court passed a verdict stating that Jakarta Anti-corruption court was inconstitutional. The Constitutional Court instructed the authorities to legalize the Jakarta Anti-corruption court in three years. The Constitutional Court did not demand the establishment of anti-corruption courts in the provinces," he said.
Mahfud emphasized the possibility of removing anti-corruption courts in the provinces, which is not against the Constitutional Court's verdict.
