JAKARTA - Spokesperson for the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Tessa Mahardika reminded the public to be careful with individuals who claim to be employees of the anti-corruption commission. He conveyed this after the KPK arrested individuals who claimed to be employees and blackmailed officials in the Bogor Regency Government, West Java. Tessa said there were a number of ways to ensure the validity of staffing, one of which was by looking at the assignment letter. Of course all KPK activities are equipped with the first letter of assignment, said Tessa as quoted from the KPK RI YouTube, Friday, July 26. Second, the public can check employee identity cards. There is an identity, official identity,'' said the spokesman with the investigator's background. Moreover, official employees will certainly not carry out strange activities. Certainly (they only carry out, red) socialization, coordination or in terms of prosecution, yes, we ask for information, conducting searches, explained Tessa. And that is generally done by more than one person. And that is generally done by more than one person. The KPK is impossible to carry out activities only one person," he continued. Tessa also said that an employee certainly would not claim to be able to stop the investigation of a corruption case. Moreover, to ask for money. Those are actions that are open eye or logically distinguishable. So what is called eradicating corruption certainly does not carry out actions that injure the eradication of corruption itself,'', "he said.
