In connection with the arrest of prosecutor Sistoyo who is also chief of development sub-section of the prosecutor`s office in Cibinong District, West Java, Darmono said later the post would no longer be filled by a prosecutor.
"Yes, we will evaluate managerial posts including the post of chief of development sub-section to see if it should not always be filled by a prosecutor but could also be filled by personnel that has managerial background," he said.
KPK arrested Sistoyo at a parking lot of the Cibinong prosecutor`s office along with two private employees with evidence of Rp99,900,000 cash money believed to be a bribe.
The AGO chief of supervision, Marwan Effendi, had said if proven guilty Sistoyo would be fired.
"We will see. If is later proven guilty in court he will certainly be fired," he said. (*)
