8 Years As KPK Leader, Alexander Marwata Admits Failed To Fight Corruption
JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata personally admitted that he had failed to eradicate Rasuah's practices. Even though he has served as a leader for eight years.This was conveyed by Alexander during a Hearing Meeting (RDP) with Commission III of the DPR RI at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta today, Monday, June 31. Initially, he had mentioned the sectoral ego of other law enforcement officers so that the coordination and supervision functions did not go well.“Ego sectoral masih ada, masih ada,” kata Alexander dalam rapat tersebut yang dikutip dari tayangan YouTube DPR RI.“ If we arrest the prosecutor's friends, for example, suddenly from the prosecutor's office closing the door of coordination and supervision. Difficult. Maybe also with the police, "” he continued.Alexander said this condition made eradicating corruption even more difficult. “ And I have to personally admit eight years being asked, ‘ was Mr. Alex successful? ’, I will not hesitate either (to answer, ed) I failed to eradicate corruption ladies and gentlemen. Failed,” he said.Alexander then mentioned that this failure could be seen from Indonesia's corruption perception index (IPK) which did not show any improvement. After briefly rising to number 40, now the decline has occurred again at number 34."What does it mean, yes, whether efforts to eradicate corruption are not carried out or not followed by other institutions. This is what we take a portrait of. There is no change in the mindset of institutions or individually integrity, especially institutional integrity and personal integrity, has not changed much, "explained Alexander.
Not only that, Alexander also sees the current condition of many people who are no longer afraid of corruption. Because many feel undetected."Not to mention when caught there are still many ways to qualify," he concluded.
