Formation Of Kortas Which Is The Solution For The National Police Chief To Fight Corruption

JAKARTA - The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo during his leadership made new breakthroughs. One of them is developing the Directorate of Corruption Crimes (Ditipidkor) into the Eradication Corps (Kortas).

"In the future, we are currently making changes to the Dittipikor. We will become Kortas Corruption," said the National Police Chief at the National Police Headquarters, Thursday, December 9.

Later, Kortas Corruption will be filled with several divisions or deputies. Starting from prevention to prosecution of criminal acts of corruption.

"The Corruption Eradication Directorate will be raised to become a higher organization. Those are the deputies, the deputy for prosecution, the deputy for prevention, the deputy for inter-institutional cooperation, then there is one more deputy," he said.

On a different occasion, the Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo, said that within the Kortas structure, the heads of deputies or divisions would be filled by a one-star general or Brigadier General.

Meanwhile, the leadership of Kortas itself will be filled with a two-star general or Inspector General. Thus, higher than the current Dittipidkor.

"It will be improved later, so it won't be one star later on two stars (led by Kortas)," said Dedi.

In addition, in the working process Kortas is not under Kabareskrim. Instead, it is directly controlled by the Chief of Police.

"Later he (Kortas) is the same as Densus 88, still under the National Police Chief," said Dedi.

In this floating plan, there are several underlying reasons. One of them is the increasing level of corruption crimes.

Karo Penmas, Police Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, stated that the formation of Kortas is expected to eradicate and eliminate corruption in Indonesia.

"The challenge is getting bigger, how the problems of corruption can be handled better," said Rusdi.

The formation of Kortas itself is just waiting for approval. Because, everything has been well prepared.

"Everything is still in the process. It's just a matter of ratification, hopefully it won't take long for the Kortas Corruption in the Police," said Rusdi.
