JAKARTA - Indonesia’s parliament voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve changes to a law governing the country’s anti-graft agency, which activists fear could undermine its powers to tackle corruption.
Member of parliament Johnny G. Plate dismissed criticism of the changes, saying all state agencies needed oversight. But the reforms have alarmed anti-corruption activists, who fear they are meant to weaken the agency. President Joko Widodo, who has 30 days to sign the law, has defended the changes and stressed that he would not compromise in the fight against graft.
