Jakarta – The Corruption Eradication Commission has set up a monitoring mission of reconstruction projects currently underway in the tsunami-hit Aceh and parts of North Sumatra.

KPK head Taufiequrrahman Ruki said the team would oversee a multimillion dollar project carried out by the Aceh Nias Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency (BRR).

"Commissioners from KPK will take turns to head our mission in Aceh. In the first stage, we have dispatched our commissioner Amin Sunaryadi as head of the oversight team," Taufiequrrahman told lawmakers of the House of Representatives Commission III on law and legislation.

Aside from its law enforcement role, the KPK is required to work to prevent corruption.
