DOC VOI

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) utilizes state administrators' assets (LHKPN) reports to seek allegations of corruption or case building. This effort will also be accompanied by an in-depth investigation of public complaints.

"Now LHKPN is one of the means for the KPK to build a case (case). Especially then if it is also supported by public information," said KPK Deputy Chair Alexander Marwata as quoted on Monday, May 22.

Information from this community can later also be compared to wealth reports uploaded on the KPK website. "We are very grateful if the public informs of assets that have not been reported," he said.

The KPK has written to various institutions and ministries to increase compliance with the submission of wealth reports. The reason is that there are still many agencies whose compliance levels do not reach 100 percent.

Alexander considers this increase in compliance should be the concern of all parties. "Many state administrators have not submitted LHKPN," he said.

"Those who have reported the LHKPN alone are not necessarily the correct data in it. Moreover, those who have not reported at all," continued Alexander.

It is hoped that the head of the agency can also take a firm stance in an effort to increase reporting compliance. Alexander wants them to impose harsh sanctions.

"For example, it should be removed from its position. There must be this firmness. Do not include it in promotions, mutations. That is also a form of sanction if it turns out that there are state officials who do not comply with conveying LHKPN," he said.

For information, the anti-corruption commission is currently investigating reports of problematic officials' assets. They are the Head of Yogyakarta Customs Eko Darmanto, Head of the East Jakarta Intermediate Tax Service Office (KPP) Wahono Saputro, and Head of the East Jakarta State Land Agency (BPN) Sudarman Harjasaputra.

Meanwhile, two other officials, namely former officials of the Directorate General of Taxes at the Ministry of Finance, Rafael Alun Trisambodo and former Head of Makassar Customs Andhi Pramono, have been investigated. Both are now named as suspects for alleged gratification.
