JAKARTA - Minister of Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (MenPAN-RB) Tjahjo Kumolo appreciated the performance of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) under the leadership of Firli Bahuri et al. Tjahjo said the KPK's work deserves appreciation.

"A lot of work from the KPK at this time deserves appreciation," said Tjahjo in a written statement, Monday, November 29.

Apart from being led by Firli, he said, the KPK Law Number 19 of 2019 also made the institution show its best performance. Especially in the implementation of prevention and prosecution of corruption.

Tjahjo said that the current performance of the KPK has also answered criticism as well as public doubts.

"The prosecution of corruption cases is relatively impartial. Anyone who finds evidence of involvement in corruption will be dealt with," he said.

"The KPK is increasingly finding performance in eradicating corruption under the chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission, Commissioner General Purnawirawan Firli. The KPK enforces the law according to the applicable law, not selectively," added the PDI-P politician.

According to Tjahjo, this is evidenced by a series of hand arrest operations (OTT) that have been carried out. According to him, from the ministers to state officials including the state civil apparatus (ASN) everything was brushed by the KPK.

"The OTT of the KPK is proof that this institution is not selective, as evidence, the OTT of the KPK is against ministers, the private sector, regional heads, and officials or the State Civil Apparatus (ASN)," he said.

For that reason, Tjahjo requested that the silent operation be carried out and even increased by the KPK.

Not only that, but he also asked all parties to participate in fighting corruption with their respective functions and responsibilities. "Because the responsibility for fighting corruption is not only on the shoulders of law enforcement officers," he said.

"The Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform (KemenPAN-RB) of course always supports efforts to eradicate corruption in this country with all the authority we have," concluded Tjahjo.
