KPK Condemns The KPK Supervisory Board Organization For Using Its Address And Logo

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) condemns the existence of a community organization that uses the name of the Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission and Public Service that uses a logo and includes the official address of the KPK Anti-Corruption Education Center Building on Jalan HR Rasuna Said.

"KPK condemns the actions of parties who have used a logo resembling the KPK and used the KPK's address as the identity of mass organizations irresponsibly," Acting KPK Spokesperson for Enforcement Ali Fikri told reporters quoted Tuesday, October 26.

He confirmed that the mass organization was not part of the anti-corruption commission or the KPK Supervisory Board. In addition, Ali emphasized that his party had never cooperated with the organization.

"KPK asks the parties to immediately stop their actions, which are suspected to lead to acts of fraud or extortion," he said.

Furthermore, Ali reminded the public to always be careful with the use of the KPK's attributes and logos. He said incidents like this usually lead to fraud and extortion, which occurs in several areas and makes many parties become victims.

"Many of the perpetrators have been arrested by law enforcement officers," said Ali.

Apart from being careful, Ali also asked the public to always be careful and alert to this kind of mode.

"If the public encounters or knows of a party claiming to be a KPK employee and committing a criminal act of extortion and the like, immediately report it to the 198 call center or to local law enforcement officials," he concluded.
