Jakarta – A study by the Indonesian Legal Roundtable has found that less than half of the candidates proposed to form the Judicial Commission (KY) were unqualified.

"Based on their integrity and competence, only five of the 14 candidates are worthy of leading the Judicial Commission," legal activist Asep Rahmat Fajar said, adding that the five had backgrounds as legal practitioners, academicians and social figures.

Another four candidates were clean, but did not stand out in terms of integrity and quality, he said. The remaining five, he said, were problematic, including two judges who had been reported to the Judicial Commission for alleged misconduct.
