Dozens of pretty young women dressed in shorts and T-shirts arrived at Corruption Eradication Commission headquarters on Monday to support an unlikely cause – the House of Representatives' (DPR) budget committee.

The women, many of whom work thick make-up and sunglasses, handed out flowers to passing motorists that passing the antigraft agency's headquarters on Jalan Rasuna Said in South Jakarta.

Others held a banner saying, "Combat corruption Yes, slander No" and "I Love Banggar," the Indonesian acronym for the budget committee, which is dogged by allegations of corruption.

Members of the committee have been boycotting meetings and discussions on the 2012 state budget since shortly after the KPK questioned four of its leaders.

These were the committee chairman, Melchias Marcus Mekeng, from the Golkar Party, and his deputies, Mirwan Amir, from the Democratic Party, Olly Dondokambey, from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), and Tamsil Linrung, from the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS).

Embattled Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Muhaimin Iskandar has also been questioned.

Asked about the rally, one of the women refused to comment. "We only want to express our aspirations," she said. Most of the young women reportedly work as sales promotion girls and models.
