KPK Reminds Official Cars Not To Be Used For Eid Homecoming

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has asked the heads of ministries/agencies, State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN), Regional-Owned Enterprises (BUMD) to prohibit the use of official facilities, including official cars for personal use, including for Lebaran homecoming.

The Acting Spokesperson for the KPK for Prevention, Ipi Maryati, said that this prohibition must be enforced to maintain integrity and potential conflicts of interest.

"KPK always reminds and appeals to the heads of ministries/institutions/regional governments as well as BUMN/BUMD to prohibit the use of official facilities for personal interests," Ipi said in a written statement to VOI, Thursday, April 14.

Furthermore, to the heads of institutions/ministry as well as BUMN/D who have issued this regulation internally, the Corruption Eradication Commission gives appreciation. This step is appropriate because official facilities should be used for work purposes, not personal interests such as returning to their hometown.

"Service facilities should only be used for official-related purposes," he stressed. Meanwhile, through his Instagram account, @official.kpk, this agency said the use of official vehicles to return to their hometowns was corrupt behavior. In fact, the use that does not comply with the rules can be penalized.

"Service facilities should only be used for official purposes and limited only on weekdays (Based on the Regulation of the Minister for Administrative Reform & Bureaucratic Reform (PANRB) No. 87/2005). Use of official cars that are not in accordance with their designation can be subject to sanctions," the account wrote. the.
