KPK Agrees With Jokowi Who Asks For Enforcement Of Corruption Cases Don't Make A Surprise

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) hopes that President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) hopes that the eradication of corruption will not cause a stir and be carried out comprehensively in line with the programs they currently have.

Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement, Ali Fikri, said that the anti-corruption commission now has a strategy called the Corruption Eradication Trident. In its implementation, this step does not only rely on taking action against the perpetrators of corruption but also prioritizes other steps such as prevention and anti-corruption education.

"This hope is in line with the corruption eradication trident implemented by the Corruption Eradication Commission. This strategy provides the same focus on enforcement, prevention and education efforts," Ali told reporters, Saturday, December 11.

However, this step cannot be done alone by the KPK. Ali said that all parties must work together to prevent corruption. "(The trident strategy to eradicate corruption, ed) is carried out simultaneously and integrated with each other. Of course with the involvement of all stakeholders," he said.

Even so, the KPK still reiterates their commitment to pursuing the fugitives, including Harun Masiku. Ali said that his party is currently cooperating with various parties at home and abroad who have the authority and authority to find fugitives.

This step, he continued, is a form of commitment and a real signal shown by the KPK. There are at least four fugitives that the anti-corruption commission must look for.

They are Harun Masiku, a suspect in a bribery case related to the determination of the interim replacement (PAW) for members of the Indonesian House of Representatives for the 2019-2024 period and Izil Azhar who is a suspect in the gratification case for the Governor of Aceh for the 2007-2012 period.

In addition, there is also the name of Kirana Kotama who is a suspect in the case of procuring SSV ships for the Philippine government in 2014 involving PT PAL and Surya Darmadi who were caught in the bribery case of forest conversion in Riau Province.

"The KPK, which has cooperated with various parties, both at home and abroad, who have the authority and authority to search for DPOs, is a real signal of the KPK's serious efforts to find them," said Ali.

Not only that, the KPK and other law enforcement officers are sure to be solid and help each other in their pursuit of the fugitives. One of the proofs, said Ali, was when the KPK and the Prosecutor's Office worked together to arrest Deni Gumelar who had harmed the state's finances amounting to Rp. 18.5 trillion.

Deni is the perpetrator of a criminal act of corruption related to the construction project of the fully activated Bentonite factory at the Regional Agribusiness and Mining Company of West Java in 2000-2001. This arrest was made on Thursday, December 9 yesterday.

"We are solid between APH to work hand in hand and become partners in eradicating corruption. So that the benefits of eradicating corruption can actually be felt by the wider community," he concluded.
