Amanda Ferdina, Jakarta – Four demonstrations will be organised this morning on Wednesday July 29. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will be the favorite target for most the protest actions.

The first demonstration will be held by the Indonesian Metal Trade Workers Federation (FSPMI) at 9am. The protesters will visit the TETO offices, the Mochtar Riadi Centre, the Matahari Tower building and the Ruko Pinangsia at the Block M shopping district in South Jakarta.

Three different groups meanwhile will enliven the KPK offices today at around 10am. The first group will be the Joint Anti-Corruption Movement (GBTK) who first plan to hold a protest action at the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle.

The second group will be the Jakarta Bima Student Axis (PMBJ) who will arrive at the KPK office after earlier protesting at the National Police headquarters.

The final group will be Indonesia Sport Monitoring (SM). In addition to protesting at the KPK, the State Ministry for Youth and Sport Affairs and the Attorney General Office will also be targeted by the group. (amd/nwk)
