JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) reminded all levels of the Prosecutor's Office not to violate its habit of being one of law enforcement officers. In particular, playing projects.

The statement was delivered in his speech at the commemoration of the 63rd anniversary of the Adhyaksa Corps in 2023.

"There should be no more prosecutors, although I know this is an individual, who plays with the law that leaves a project partner," said Jokowi, Saturday, July 22.

"Stipping imported goods and various other disgraceful actions, although I know this is an individual," he continued.

Jokowi emphasized that the message was not only rejected by members of the Prosecutor's Office. However, all law enforcement officers such as the Police and the KPK.

"My message is not only to the prosecutor's office, but to all our law enforcement officers, including the KPL Police, including the supervision of auditors at the central and regional levels," said Jokowi.

On the other hand, Jokowi appreciated the increase in public trust in the Indonesian Attorney General's Office. He asked that it be maintained.

"Now in July 2023 the level of public trust in the prosecutor's office reached 81.2 percent, this is very high. This is the highest figure in the last 9 years. I want to congratulate you again," said Jokowi.
