Jakarta – Critics doubt that Deputy Attorney General Darmono will be able to lead the Attorney General's Office (AGO), now that Hendarman Supandji has left.

The Indonesian Court Monitoring Society deputy chairman, Hasril Hertanto, said that, after evaluating Darmono's career, he had seen no evidence of a good track record.

"I have no confidence that he can lead the AGO," he said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com. "He has not done anything special during his career."

Darmono had yet to elaborate on his vision in regard to the future of the AGO too, he added. "He just said he would improve the AGO. Well, that's only to be expected" Hasril said.

Indonesia Corruption Watch researcher Donal Faris said Darmono's record on the judicial mafia taskforce was not good.

Darmono now holds the position of acting attorney general. He is tipped to replace Hendarman as attorney general.
