Abdul Khalik, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, US – Indonesian businesspeople have asked the government to quickly resolve problems surrounding the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) while demanding the police to be transparent on their charges against two anti-graft body leaders to avoid the issues negatively affecting foreign investment in the country.

Chairman of the Indonesian Chamspbers of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) MS Hidayat said the absence of certainty would raise public suspicion against the police in their probe into the two KPK leaders, who have been suspended following their implication in criminal cases.

"Prolonged uncertainty will adversely affect Indonesia's investment climate, as trust in a clean government is among primary considerations to invest. We hope that President's move to establish the team of five to select the replacements of the KPK leaders will give certainty," Hidayat told reporters in the sidelines of the G20 summit on Thursday.

He said the inclusion of two human rights activists, Adnan Buyung Nasution and Todung Mulya Lubis, in the team of five would dismiss public's accusation that the government aimed to control the independent anti-graft body. "The police also must quickly present solid evidence supporting their allegations. I believe that whoever commits a crime must be punished so the police don't have to be afraid," Hidayat said.
