JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron said the statement of the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri that the anti-corruption commission was not working effectively was a form of evaluation. This is positive for improving performance. "What he conveyed was part of a review and evaluation so that the KPK would be stronger both in terms of regulations and in terms of performance," Ghufron told reporters, Friday, August 25. Ghufron said that actually the KPK's shortcomings were the president and the DPR RI. This is in accordance with the laws and regulations. However, the KPK also has a habit of reporting their performance to the public. Usually, Ghufron said, the report was submitted in the middle and end of the year. "We report anything from perspective, whether Bu Mega or the public who are considered to be considered weakened or down, we will convey a true perspective," said the KPK's perspective,” he said. Previously reported, the KPK was in the spotlight after the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri had spoken to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) so that the institution was dissolved. This is because corruption is still happening. "I have said to Mr. Jokowi sometimes, 'That's it, disband the KPK, sir. I don't think it's effective'," he said in The Tribrata, Jakarta. The PDIP general chairman admitted that there was no problem if anyone thought his statement was outspoken. Because, the KPK is a formative institution in the era of its government. "If you talk ces pleng, you know I made it (KPK) anyway," Megawati said at the event. After the spotlight, PDIP Secretary General Hasto Kristiyanto said Megawati didn't mean anything. He said he only wanted the eradication of corruption to run optimally.

Hasto has even clarified directly to Megawati. “ It is completely untrue, because he founded the KPK in the spirit of fulfilling the mandate of reform,” firmly in a written statement.
