KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Vice President Jusuf Kalla said on Tuesday that the National Police should not establish an anticorruption squad, as the force has proposed to lawmakers. Kalla said the country should focus on optimizing the performance of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as well as the existing anticorruption units at the police and the Attorney General's Office (AGO). "[With] the KPK, it is enough. In fact, the police already have authority [to handle corruption cases]. That doesn't mean they need a new team to execute such responsibilities. [We] should focus on the KPK and support it," Kalla said at his office on Tuesday as quoted by antaranews.com.
