Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri has warned journalists against twisting her statements on the upcoming simultaneous local elections.
Megawati said during a speech in front of the PDI-P’s election team that although the General Elections Commission (KPU) had not done its best to prepare the local elections, balloting must take place on Dec. 9 as scheduled.
“Please don’t misquote me by saying that I disagree with the plan to hold simultaneous elections,” Megawati said as quoted by kompas.com.
Earlier, Megawati was angered by media reports which quoted her as saying that the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) could be shut down due to its temporary nature.
Megawati said the formation of the KPK was based on a strong reason, namely to eradicate corruption. Thus, she added, the institution would no longer be needed if corruption was dealt with. Many media outlets ran headlines saying simply that Megawati wanted the KPK to be disbanded
