JAKARTA - The Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) has spoken out regarding the steps taken by the Intelligence Reform and Innovation Task Force (SIRI) which has secured a number of heads of the regional attorney general's office (kajari) in recent times. This step was taken because of indications of unprofessionalism in handling cases.
Head of the Legal Information Center (Kapuspenkum) of the Attorney General's Office, Anang Supriatna, said that this action was part of an early detection effort as well as the implementation of a zero tolerance policy against violations within the Adhyaksa Corps.
"This is done in order to detect early and also as part of zero tolerance," said Anang at the Attorney General's Office, Jakarta, Tuesday, January 27.
A number of officials who were secured included the Head of the Padang Lawas District Prosecutor's Office, Sumarlin Halomoan, and the Head of the Magetan District Prosecutor's Office, Dezi Setiapermana. According to Anang, this step was taken after the Attorney General's Office received and followed up on a number of reports and complaints from the public.
"It is indicated that there is unprofessionalism in handling cases, conflict of interest, as well as management and leadership that is not conducive, both internally and in external relations," he explained.
Anang emphasized that the leadership of the Attorney General's Office had repeatedly reminded all levels to work professionally and uphold integrity. Currently, the investigation and examination of alleged violations committed by individual prosecutors is still ongoing.
"There are several complaints that have come in and we will immediately follow up, of course, while still prioritizing the principle of presumption of innocence," he said.
However, Anang stated that the Kejaksaan Agung had not been able to disclose the details of the examination publicly because the investigation was still ongoing.
