JAKARTA - The Kedai Kopi survey institute said 85.5 percent of respondents rated the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as good. In addition, this survey also noted that the level of public trust in the KPK was at 6.90 percent.

This figure makes the anti-graft commission sit in third position in the list of institutions most trusted by the public to be behind the TNI, which won 7.04 percent and the Indonesian President, who won 6.98 percent.

Responding to the survey results, Acting KPK spokesman Ali Fikri said he was grateful and would make it a motivation for efforts to eradicate corruption.

This is because, this institution assesses that the rating reflects public expectations of their performance.

"The survey results are a reflection of public expectations for the KPK and this is certainly a motivation for us to continue to work as well as possible," Ali said in a written statement to reporters, Tuesday, January 26.

He also emphasized that the results of this survey did not necessarily make the KPK become jumawa. Ali said that the anti-corruption commission will remain open to input from various related parties in efforts to eradicate corruption.

"The KPK is always open to input and criticism from the public," he said.

It is known, in the Coffee Shop survey, the level of public trust in the KPK has increased due to the rampant fishing operations (OTT) that occurred in 2020. According to the Executive Director of Kedai Kopi Kunto Adi Wibowo, silent operations are still an indicator of success in the community.

"The public perceives that the indicator of the success of the KPK is if there is an OTT. So that at the end of last year there were two big OTTs and then the OTT influenced public opinion and public trust," said Kunto when releasing the results of the survey, Monday, January 25 yesterday.

Meanwhile, the reason that the anti-graft commission's performance has not been good is because there is still a lot of corruption that has occurred and there are corruptors who have not been arrested.

The survey was conducted from January 4 to January 11, involving 2,000 respondents with a 95 percent confidence level and a 2.19 percent margin of error.
