Ezra Sihite – A lawmaker who has called to disband the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Tuesday continued his criticism of the agency, saying it had failed to halt graft in Indonesia.

Fahri Hamzah from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) also accused the KPK of attempting to "demolish" the House of Representatives (DPR). "It is the KPK's way of spoiling the system," he said at the House.

He also accused the KPK of "seeking fame" and said antigraft officials were overpaid. "The data [of KPK officials' salaries] are with Commission III, you can check yourself. I have said before that a general's salary is close to that of a KPK security guard."

On Monday, Fahri urged the government to disband the KPK, accusing it of being a "superbody." "There can't be a superbody institution in democracy," he told the KPK, National Police Chief Gen. Timur Pradopo and the Attorney General Basrief Arief during a meeting in the House.

The KPK, which is currently investigating members of the House's budget committee, has been accused of cherry-picking cases for investigation with the specific aim of pursuing legislators.

The House is perceived to be one of Indonesia's most corrupt institutions according to recent surveys and Indonesia is one of the world's most corruption countries. Allegations of corruption have also been recently leveled against senior members of the KPK.

The PKS has been involved in a number of recent corruption scandals itself, including former lawmaker Muhammad Misbakhun. Misbakhun, who was able to amass a small fortune when he worked at the Tax Directorate-General before launching a political career with the Islam-based PKS, was only sentenced to one-year in jail for forging documents to obtain huge loans from Bank Century.

PKS legislator Adang Daradjatun, a former deputy chief of the National Police, meanwhile, is continuing to refuse to cooperate with investigators hunting for his fugitive wife, Nunun Nurbaeti. And PKS lawmaker Tamsil Linrung has been questioned by the KPK as part of the ongoing budget committee investigation.
