Anita Rachman – A lawmaker from the House of Representatives' Commission III overseeing legal affairs said on Monday that the Constitutional Court was losing its reason after it ruled that Busyro Muqoddas would serve a full four-year term as a chairman the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

Nasir Djamil said that Busyro was elected to replace former KPK chief Antasari Azhar, who was jailed for murder, and should end his term by the end of the year. "We agree that Busyro is a clean figure, but all institutions must respect and understand the substance of laws," he said.

He said that the court decision was influenced by the opinions of a small number of people who desire Busyro to stay in the KPK leadership for the next three years. Nasir said that if Busyro wanted to remain heading the KPK, he would have to apply for the position again.

"We are getting more confused with MK. We must build an institution, not make a cult out of a person," he said. Nasir said the country needed to have a better KPK selection committee so that they could get the best applicants for the post.

Meanwhile, Eva Kusuma Sundari from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) congratulated Busyro during a meeting at the commission, which was underway. She said she hoped to see a stronger KPK in the future.
