Reza Yunanto, Jakarta – It was not just the Presidential Palace that was targeted by demonstrators on Thursday. Hundreds of students also protested at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) offices in South Jakarta.

Representing Student Executive Councils (BEM) from the University of Indonesia (UI), the Jakarta State University (UNJ), the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB), the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) and the Gajah Mada University, the protesters demanded that the KPK immediately summon Boediono and Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati for questioning.

The students, who arrived from the Menteng area in Central Jakarta on foot, brought flags and banners with messages such as "Uphold the supremacy of the law", "Eradicate corruption in Indonesia" and "Sri Mulyani is a thief, Boediono is a thief".

"Summon Sri Mulyani, Boediono and other related parties that are responsible", said one of the participants. (nik/iy)
