The Dewie Limpo Momentum
The arrest of Dewie Yasin Limpo shows that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) still has teeth despite repeated attempts to remove them. The detention of a member of the House of Representatives (DPR) also shows the dark side of the endeavor to stamp out corruption. Public enthusiasm to eliminate graft, especially within the DPR, remains high.
Dewie, who entered the DPR in 2014, is a new face at Senayan. Last week, the politician from the People's Conscience Party (Hanura) was detained by the KPK on suspicion of accepting a bribe in connection with a micro-hydroelectricity project at Deiyai, Papua. She was indicted for bribery after her personal secretary was caught in the act of accepting S$177,700. According to the KPK, the bribe was only half the promised amount.
