The KPK Said, BPK's Audit Results Did Not Much Help In Investigating Allegations Of Corruption

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) admits that the audit of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) has not assisted efforts to eradicate corruption. Only a few cases can be dealt with from the results of the agency's audit.

"In fact, the results of the BPK audit have not revealed much corruption. From the audits that BPK routinely conducts in local governments, agencies, and so on, they have not been able to uncover corruption cases," said KPK Deputy Chairman Alexander Marwata in a YouTube broadcast by the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, Wednesday, December 14.

Likewise, monitoring activities at the inspectorate of institutions and agencies. Alexander said, most of the violations found would usually be called administrative violations.

He said that there are rarely corruption cases that can be investigated from the inspection process in the inspectorate. "More irregularities are categorized as administrative violations," he said.

This reason makes Alexander believe that corrupt officials have a low tendency to be caught. Even if someone was arrested by the KPK, according to him, it was only bad luck.

The reason is that many other corruptors are actually roaming around. However, they were not caught because they had a neater way of playing.

"I see the risk of being known, the arrest of corruptors is low," said Alexander.

As a result, the eradication of corruption that has been carried out has not been so affected. The proof is that Indonesia's Corruption Perception Index (IPK) is stagnant at 37-38.

In addition, corrupt officials are also considered to be comfortable in carrying out their actions. "If we make it a benchmark for the success of eradicating corruption, yes, it has not shown encouraging results," he concluded.
