Jakarta – The House of Representatives (DPR) confronted on Monday Transparency International Indonesia over Transparency International's recent report, which singled out the legislative body as the most corrupt institution in Indonesia along with political parties.

Todung Mulya Lubis, who heads the TII board of directors, told legislators led by House Speaker Agung Laksono that the conclusion was made based on a comprehensive survey involving 55,000 citizens in 69 countries, including Indonesia.

"They (legislators) were able to understand our explanation," Todung said after the meeting.

TII released the TI's Global Barometer Index late last month following a meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
