Disaster Corruption, Corruption Disaster
Activists of the Anti-Corruption Civil Society Coalition stage a placard demonstration at the headquarters of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in Jakarta on Tuesday. They are demanding that the case involving the acid attack on senior KPK investigator Novel Baswedan should be thoroughly investigated and solved.
Disasters have been exploited for corruption. Not only do the perpetrators misuse funds and aid projects, but they also have the heart to extort victims of the disasters.
It seems as if there is no longer any "taboo" place for perpetrators of corruption to commit their deeds. After activities related to "divinity", such as the procurement of Korans and pilgrimage packages, humanitarian assistance for victims of disasters has now become a target of corruption.
