2 Ministers And 33 Deputy Ministers Prabowo Reported To KPK Because Of Multiple Positions

ILLUSTRATION BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The civilian community coalition reported two ministers and 33 deputy cabinet ministers of President Prabowo Subianto to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today.

They were complained about the alleged criminal acts of corruption and conflicts of interest arising from the practice of concurrent positions of state officials as commissioners of SOEs.

The coalition that reports consists of Themis Indonesia, Transparency International Indonesia (TI Indonesia), and the Center for the Study of Democracy, Constitution and Human Rights (PANDEKHA) FH UGM. This practice is considered not only to violate various rules and opportunities, but also to open up gaps in corruption through multiple income.

"In addition, concurrent positions further strengthen the practice of conflict of interest in the management of SOEs," said Bagus Pradana from IT Indonesia as representatives of the coalition in a written statement, Wednesday, August 20.

This coalition also considers the condition of concurrent positions in Prabowo's cabinet to be very ironic. This is because the former Minister of Defense in his state speech on August 15, 2025, specifically referred to corruption in BUMN as a big problem.

But, on the other hand, Prabowo actually let his assistants occupy the position of commissioner.

This condition, continued Bagus, seemed to ignore lessons from major corruption scandals in SOEs such as PT Asabri and PT Jiwasraya.

In fact, the Indonesian Ombudsman has found a weakness in the supervisory system, one of which was due to the concurrent position of the board of commissioners in 2019.

Here are five rules that are violated by the practice of concurrent positions:

1. Law no. 39 of 2008 concerning the Ministry of State: Article 23 explicitly prohibits ministers from holding concurrent positions as commissioners or directors of state companies. This prohibition also applies to deputy ministers in accordance with the Constitutional Court Decision Number 80/PUU-XVII/2019.

2. Law no. 1 of 2025 concerning SOEs: Article 27B prohibits commissioners from concurrently holding other positions that are prohibited by statutory regulations.

3. Law no. 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services: Article 17 prohibits the implementation of public services from government agencies to concurrently serve as commissioners.

4. Law no. 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration: This practice is considered to violate the principles of good governance (AUPB), especially the principle of legal certainty.

5. Regulation of the Minister of SOEs No. PER-3/MBU/03/2023: The internal rules of SOEs themselves require that members of the Board of Commissioners not occupy positions that have the potential to cause a conflict of interest.

These various conditions, making a coalition of civil society then urged two main things:

1. Ask the KPK to immediately process the law of this report and recommend to the President to prohibit the total practice of concurrent positions.

2. Ask the President to dismiss all ministers and deputy ministers who are currently holding concurrent positions.
