National – The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has rejected speculation that it will recruit members of the Indonesian Military (TNI) as investigators.

"It's not true. The KPK will not recruit investigators from the TNI," KPK spokesman Johan Budi said.

Johan also denied that the move to recruit TNI members was part of an effort to "safeguard" the Hambalang sports complex graft case, which involved politicians from the ruling Democratic Party.

In 2012, the KPK signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the TNI to use the latter's detention facility in Guntur, South Jakarta, which is under the control of the Jakarta Military Command (Kodam Jaya).

The KPK argued that its detention facility was too small to hold the increasing number of graft suspects the commission was investigating.
