JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) will not have practical politics. They will be neutral and ensure that the ongoing legal process is not related to the political year. This was conveyed by KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri when asked about his institution's attitude ahead of the 2024 General Election. The institution he leads is confirmed to be perpendicular to the laws and regulations. “ In a political year, whenever it happens the KPK is neutral and does not involve itself from political or practical practices. I make sure,” Firli said as quoted from the Indonesian KPK YouTube show, Tuesday, August 15. The KPK then focused on preventing money politics. There are a number of programs that have been implemented, including Smart Politics with Integrity involving parties to follow political education with integrity. "Similarly, KPU and Bawaslu election organizers are also involved in efforts to prevent money politics," said Firli. Kemudian, komisi antirasuah kini fokus dengan kampanye Hajar Serangan Fajar. Langkah ini dilakukan dengan mengajak masyarakat menolak politik uang untuk memastikan calon yang dipilih adalah mereka yang berinjari. In addition, they also focus on carrying out other prevention and education programs. Firli said, all these efforts were also accompanied by taking action against the perpetrators of corruption.

"This action strategy, ed) is to make people afraid to commit corruption," he said. "And the three strategies of course we involve the community," said Firli.
