KPK Supports Prabowo's Statement Regarding The Asset Confiscation Bill: Immediately Ratified!

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) hopes that the Asset Confiscation Bill (RUU) will soon be discussed in the DPR RI. This regulation is important to support efforts to eradicate the riots as stated by President Prabowo Subianto.

This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika when asked about President Prabowo Subianto's support for the Asset Confiscation Bill when attending the commemoration of Labor Day, Thursday, May 1.

"President Prabowo Subianto's statement shows that the discussion of the Asset Confiscation Bill is important to be resolved immediately by representatives of the people in the DPR RI," said Tessa when contacted by reporters via text message, Friday, May 2.

Tessa said the Asset Confiscation Bill would later become the basis for recovering state losses for the welfare of the community. Thus, the KPK hopes that the ratification of the law will be carried out soon.

"KPK always stands with the people and also the government in efforts to eradicate corruption," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.

As previously reported, President Prabowo Subianto mentioned the Asset Confiscation Bill (RUU) during a speech at the commemoration of International Labor Day or May Day at the Monas Area, Central Jakarta on Thursday, May 1. He supports that regulation to be ratified by the Indonesian House of Representatives.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in the context of eradicating corruption, I support the Asset Confiscation Act. I support it," Prabowo said in his speech in front of thousands of workers and received an enthusiastic response, Thursday, May 1.

Prabowo said the law needed to be passed immediately. "It's just that I've helped, I don't want to return the assets. I'll just withdraw it," he said.

"Agree?"

"Agree!" said the laborer in response to Prabowo.

Prabowo wants the resistance against corruptors to continue. However, he reminded the workers to support him.

"Later you will be given money for a demonstration to (support, red) corruptors," he said from the podium.

"No!" replied the mass of workers present.

"Is that right? Watch out for you," Prabowo replied to the answer given by the masses.
