The New Criminal Procedure Code Claimed By The KPK Does Not Much Influence Performance

BOGOR - Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Setyo Budiyanto said that the ratification of the Criminal Procedure Code did not really affect the work of his institution.

This was conveyed by Setyo when asked about the ratification of the Criminal Procedure Code by the Indonesian House of Representatives on Tuesday, November 18. Palu was knocked out at the 18th Plenary Meeting of the Second Session Period of the 2025-2026 Session Year which was chaired directly by the Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Puan Maharani.

"Hopefully what is under the authority of the KPK will not change with the first criminal procedural law," Setyo told reporters in Bogor, West Java, quoted on Wednesday, November 19.

Even so, Setyo said the legal bureau team would conduct a study of the new regulation. But, so far, the performance of the institution has not been greatly affected by the Criminal Procedure Code.

"In my opinion, it doesn't have much effect, does it," he said.

Regarding wiretapping regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code, for example, Setyo emphasized that the KPK has its own rules for wiretapping with the permission of the KPK Supervisory Board (Dewas).

"Everything has rules attached to the processes carried out by investigators," said the former Director of KPK Investigation.

The Indonesian House of Representatives previously officially ratified the Draft Law on the Criminal Procedure Code (RUU KUHAP). This also ends the 44-year-old formal law era that is no longer relevant.

This decision was taken after all factions in the DPR submitted their approval of the bill that had been carefully discussed by Commission III.
