JAKARTA - The results of a survey by Indonesian Political Indicators show that the level of public trust in the Attorney General's Office (AGO) is the highest among other law enforcement agencies.

The survey, which was conducted on October 16-20, 2023, found that the level of public trust in the AGO reached 75.1 percent.

"If you look at the data, the Prosecutor's Office is in the highest position of law enforcement agencies that are most trusted by the public," said Main Researcher of Indonesian Political Indicators Hendro Prasetyo as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, October 26.

A total of 75.1 percent of public trust consists of 68 percent of respondents who feel quite confident and 7 percent who really believe. Meanwhile, 18 percent answered less believe, 2 percent did not believe it at all, and 5 percent did not know or did not answer.

Hendro explained that the court followed behind the AGO by gaining public trust by 73 percent. Then, followed by the National Police 72 percent and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) 67 percent.

Overall, he continued, the Adhyaksa Corps led by Attorney General ST Burhanuddin became the state institution with the fourth highest level of public trust. The first position is still occupied by the TNI with 93.7 percent.

"In the position of the two state institutions that are most trusted by the public, following the president with 90.4 percent and the Constitutional Court (79 percent), only the Prosecutor's Office gets 75.1 percent," said Hendro, as quoted from his written statement.

Hendro explained that there were several reasons behind the high public trust in the AGO. One of them, he said, was the success of the AGO in uncovering corruption cases, especially those involving the ministry.

The Indicator Survey was conducted on October 16'20, 2023, placing 2,567 respondents with a margin of error of around 1.97 percent at a confidence level of 95 percent.

The selected respondents were interviewed face-to-face by interviewers who had been trained. The results of the interview were conducted by a random quality control of 20 percent of the total sample by supervisors and no significant errors were found.
