JAKARTA - Head of the Indonesian National Agency for Placement and Protection of Manpower (BP2MI) Benny Rhamdani promised to be ready to fight corruption in Indonesia through parliamentary channels.
Benny emphasized that the effort was carried out by advancing as a candidate for the Indonesian People's Representative Council (DPR) in the 2024 General Election through the Hanura Party.
Benny admitted that he would run from the Electoral Region (dapil) of West Java II, which includes Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency. He emphasized that he would fully carry out the mandate of the people, if elected as representatives of the people in the upcoming elections.
He also mentioned the salaries and allowances obtained by state officials or members of the DPR. According to him, if a rich state official suddenly after taking office, it must be suspected by the people.
"I will certainly physically survive for the Hanura Party. As I have often said, in fact every state official in this country is a member of the DPR, God willing, for God's sake, he will never be rich from his salary and position," he was quoted as saying by ANTARA, Thursday, February 23.
He continued, if the state officials or members of the Indonesian House of Representatives before taking office were already rich, there was no need to be suspected.
"But, if he is rich as long as he holds his position, it must be suspected by the people, where does the source of his wealth come from," he explained.
Furthermore, he asked the entire community to monitor the performance of state officials. If there is a suspicious flow of funds, the public can directly access the assets of the people's representatives and all state officials through the LHKPN website (State Officials' Wealth Report).
"The public can access, see how much the salary and allowances are. If there are officials who are from normal to rich, their wealth can be suspected of corruption," he said.
Benny also conveyed a number of laws (UU), which he will fight for if elected members of the Council. Among other things, he will work to encourage the escape of the Law on Confiscation of Assets of Corruptors, and the Law on Inverse Comparison to trace the track record of the wealth of state officials.
