JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) considers that there should be sanctions for officials who do not submit State Administrators Wealth Reports (LHKPN). Internal agencies and institutions in the country should regulate this even though it is not in the laws and regulations.

"Internally it should be used as a kind of standard of behavior, for officials who do not report their LHKPN, don't promote them, don't raise them," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata to reporters in Jakarta, Monday, December 12.

"If those who already have positions but do not report even though they are obliged to report, remove their positions even though there is no sanction in the law," he continued.

Alexander said the asset report to the KPK must be understood as a form of control. Moreover, in that report, officials will usually convey all their assets.

Later, it can be compared to salaries to allowances and pensions obtained by these officials. In addition, Alexander said his agency often uses the data to map the risks of corruption in various agencies and institutions.

"We can map out which agencies are more vulnerable. Law enforcement officers, Directorate General of Taxes, Directorate General of Customs and Excise, then BPN (National Land Agency), are prone to extortion and so on," he said.

Similarly, the Director of the LHKPN KPK Isnaini assessed that punishment in the form of deductions could also be given to officials who did not report their wealth. With this punishment, it is hoped that officials will be afraid and carry out their obligations to the anti-corruption commission.

"We encourage agencies to encourage clear sanctions. For example, cutting conjugates. That's effective," said Isnaini.

The anti-corruption commission noted that the number of officials reporting their assets until November 2022 reached 98.10. In that period, there were 375,878 reports of the total 383,147 officials required to report.

The agencies whose officials are most obedient to reporting are BUMN or BUMD with a value of 97.04 percent; judicial institutions with a value of 96.53 percent; and executive institutions as much as 93.76 percent.

While the lowest is the legislative body. The number of officials who comply with reporting their wealth is only 89.83 percent.
