Didik assessed that the relevant law enforcement officers must immediately follow up and investigate Mahfud's findings, including potential irregularities and potential criminal acts. "We hope that law enforcers will immediately investigate all potential irregularities and criminal acts," said Didik, Friday, March 10. If an indication of a criminal act is found, continued Didik, then law enforcement officers must quickly investigate and take action against the perpetrators. Including potential corruption and money laundering. "There should be no tolerance on rogue and corrupt employees and officials! ” firmly the Democratic legislator. On the other hand, Didik reminded that supervision of officials within the Ministry of Finance is more stringent because corruption in these institutions has the most potential to develop.
