Jakarta – The Judicial Commission (KY) has received 7,450 reports of illegalities or ethical violations allegedly committed by judges across the country since it was established in 2005, said an official.

Commission chairman Busyro Muqoddas, was quoted as saying by Antara on Friday that each year the number of reports of misconduct by judges had grown, highlighting the public's wariness of the country's judiciary.

He said the commission should therefore be given greater power to oversee judges suspected of breaching the law and ethical codes.
