ICW The Value Of Corruption Eradication Of The Corruption Eradication Commission In The Era Of Filri Dropped, Spokesperson: We Will Tell Later

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) appreciates the assessment submitted by Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) and Transparency International Indonesia (TII) regarding the KPK's performance for one year under the leadership of Firli Bahuri.

"The KPK appreciates what has been conveyed by ICW and TII in evaluating the KPK's performance," said Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri through his statement in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Wednesday, December 23.

Ali also said that at the end of this year the full performance of the KPK will be conveyed during that one year. "At that time, data related to the achievements of the KPK will be submitted," he said.

Previously, ICW had conveyed that regarding the performance of the KPK, one of the highlights was that the prosecution sector experienced a drastic decline, starting from the number of investigations, prosecutions to execution of decisions.

ICW said that Hand-Catching Operation (OTT) activities have dropped dramatically this year, only successfully holding 7 arrests.

"When compared, the decrease this time is far from the previous year, namely 2019 (21 times), 2018 (30 times), and 2017 (19 times)," said ICW researcher Kurnia Ramadhana in a statement received in Jakarta, Wednesday.

Furthermore, the KPK has also not touched on large cases that have so far been in arrears in these anti-corruption institutions, such as the electronic ID card corruption case with a state loss of IDR 2.3 trillion.

Referring to the KPK charges against two former Ministry of Home Affairs officials, Irman and Sugiharto, said Kurnia, there were many names of politicians who were suspected of receiving the flow of funds from the project. However, until now, there have been no further developments in the charges.

The KPK is also under the spotlight of not having charged the former chairman of the DPR RI, Setya Novanto, on suspicion of committing the Crime of Money Laundering (TPPU).

Another major case is a corruption case related to fulfilling the obligations of the shareholders of Bank Dagang Nasional Indonesia (BDNI) as a Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance (BLBI) obligor to the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA), which ensnared Sjamsul Nursalim and his wife Itjih Nursalim. This case resulted in a state loss of IDR 4.58 trillion.

Furthermore, the case for the construction of a sports training and education center in Hambalang with a total state financial loss of Rp. 463 billion and finally, the case of the bailout or "bailout" of Century Bank with a state financial loss of Rp. 7.4 trillion.
