MA TO SET UP SEVEN CORRUPTION COURTS
Jakarta, Sept 30 (ANTARA) - The Supreme Court (MA) will set up seven corruption courts until early 2010 following the passage of the bill on corruption courts, MA spokesman Hatta Ali said here on Wednesday.
The seven corruption courts will be located in seven provinces, namely in Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Makassar, Palembang, Medan and Samarinda, he said.
He said initially the courts would be set up in seven big cities where the number of cases was expected to be big.
"The establishment of corruption courts will be done in stages until reaching 33 provinces within two years. This is in line with the message of the law on corruption courts," he said.
He said the corruption courts to be set up in the seven provinces would also include appeals courts.
For the time being the courts will be located at the district courts, he said.
He said the apparatus of the courts would be immediately formed after a national working meeting in Palembang, he said.
"In line with the message of the law each corruption court would have four ad hoc and four career judges," he said, adding MA now has 600 career judges.
Regarding composition of judges for a session he said it would be referred to the head of the district court concerned.
He said MA would issue a regulation regarding the criteria for determining the number of judges in a case.
"MA will produce a regulation to determine whether a case should be handled by five or three judges or in which case the number ad hoc judges or career judges should be bigger," he said adding the regulation would be distributed to all district courts for a reference.***4***
