The Commission of Four (Indonesian: Komisi Empat or Komisi IV) was an Indonesian anti-corruption commission which existed from January to July 1970. Created by President Suharto following student protests and criticism from the press over corruption in Indonesia, the Commission was charged with reporting on the problem of corruption and providing recommendations to the government. Its membership consisted of four respected politicians — Wilopo (who also served as chairman of the Commission), I. J. Kasimo, Herman Johannes, and Anwar Tjokroaminoto — together with former Vice President Mohammad Hatta as an advisor to the Commission and Sutopo Juwono as its secretary.
