Jakarta – President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has signed a revision to the government regulation dealing with human resources at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

State Secretary Sudi Silalahi confirmed the revision on Monday, but refused to disclose any details.

Meanwhile, Administrative Reforms Minister Azwar Abubakar said that among the revisions, the regulation would allow the KPK to extend the tenure of police investigators seconded to the commission by up to 10 years from the previous eight years.

"Other changes include an obligation by the police to start coordinating with the KPK at least six months before the tenures of respective investigators expire," Azwar told The Jakarta Post, adding that the six months could be used by the KPK to remove soon-to-depart investigators from assignments.

The revision has been introduced in an attempt to prevent the National Police from withdrawing its personnel from the antigraft body.
