Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono used the occasion of World Anti-Corruption Day on Friday to ask law enforcement to prioritize large corruption cases.

“Prioritize big corruption cases, not the small ones that waste a lot of time while letting go of the big ones,” Yudhoyono said at an anticorruption event in Semarang, Central Java, on Friday.

Yudhoyono, who for at least the third year in a row has left Jakarta on Anti-Corruption Day, has been under increasing criticism for his failure to make any progress in the fight against corruption.

Senior members of his political vehicle, the ruling Democratic Party, have also been implicated in a major corruption scandal that currently centers on former party treasurer, Muhammad Nazaruddin.

He also urged better coordination between law enforcement agencies, the Supreme Audit Agency and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), among others.
