JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Nurul Ghufron hopes that the recent hand arrest operation (OTT) will have a deterrent effect.
All parties are expected to take the silent operation that has been routinely carried out lately as a lesson.
"We hope this will not happen again. We hope that these arrests will provide a deterrent effect as well as a lesson to stop corruption," said Ghufron as quoted from the Indonesian KPK's YouTube, Thursday, January 20.
At least, there have been four silent operations carried out by the KPK during this month of January. On Wednesday, January 5, the KPK arrested the Mayor of Bekasi, Rahmat Effendi.
Then a week later or Wednesday, January 12, it was the turn of the Regent of North Penajam Paser, Abdul Gafur Mas'ud, to be arrested by the KPK. Subsequently, the KPK team moved again and succeeded in arresting the Regent of Langkat, who published a Wind War Plan on Tuesday, January 18.
Finally, the KPK also conducted an OTT in Surabaya, East Java on Wednesday, January 19. This time the target is not regional heads but judges, clerks and lawyers whose trial is currently underway at the Surabaya Court.
"We hope (OTT, ed) this will not happen again," said Ghufron.
With the deterrent effect caused by this OTT, he hopes that Indonesia can be clean from rioting.
"(All parties, ed) to be deterrent and afraid to commit corruption so that Indonesia is truly free from corruption," he concluded.
