Corruption remains uncontrollable

Floods striking the entire country has stripped the guise of crime, namely corruption. In fact, river's dikes, roads and absorption areas are built under quality standards due to their funds have been grafted by organizing developers. Once the river water overflows the dike breaks down, absorption areas are absent so the water inundates roads. Tens of kilometers of the frail roads would get peeled off and be full of holes and even some bridges collapse. Everything is now in need of improvement in addressing  sustainability of social economic demands.  Amid the voice of people speaking more about corruption in constructing public infrastructures, it was suddenly shocked by the bribery of a grafter to a prosecutor handling specially graft cases amounted to hundreds of quintillion of the state's money from the Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI). Formerly the National Banking Restructuring Agency (BPPN) set up to deal with the corruption of the state's money has also constantly been controlled by grafters. In turn, the agency has come to the end and its grafters could easily be free. Even Bank Indonesia having mandate form the state with its rocketing salary has also been controlled by those who like grafting so many cases must appear before the court.
