Attorney General Sanitiar Burhanuddin emphasized that he needs prosecutors who are not only intelligent, but also with integrity and morals in order to maintain the dignity of the Prosecutor's Office in law enforcement in the country.

"I don't need prosecutors who are only smart and immoral. I also don't need prosecutors who are only intelligent and have no integrity. What I need is prosecutors who are smart, with integrity, and morals," said Burhanuddin as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, November 30. This message was conveyed by Burhanuddin when giving a lecture to students of the Education and Training for the Establishment of Prosecutors (PPPJ) batch 80 Wave II in 2023 at the Indonesian Prosecutor's Education and Training Agency in Jakarta.

The prosecutor who is moral, with integrity and intelligent is the opening lecture delivered by Buhanuddin to his prospective subordinates who are currently attending education.

According to him, the prosecutor is likened to a triangular space building, which is formed from three points of intelligence, an angle of integrity and angular morality. If one is not owned, then a perfect triangle will not be built.

Likewise, with a prosecutor, continued Burhanuddin, to become a prosecutor who always maintains the dignity, dignity and dignity of the Prosecutor's Office, he must always foster intelligence, integrity and morality as a whole unit in carrying out the mandate as a prosecutor.

He emphasized that intelligence opens many doors, but a character that makes a prosecutor survive. Building a character requires etiquette and ethics. Most people who have intelligence but do not have etiquette and ethics, because both of them are not always taught at the level of education.

Through PPPJ, Burhanuddin hopes that the moral value of young Adhyaksa people can be built for the sake of the Attorney General's Office which is modern and with integrity.

"I advise you to always maintain self-respect as a prosecutor and maintain the dignity of the Prosecutor's institution with good opinion and morals. Above science there is adab, intelligence must follow the custom, never precede it, and never destroy it," said Burhanuddin.

On that occasion, Burhanuddin also explained the achievements that have been achieved by the Indonesian Attorney General's Office as the most popular and trusted law enforcement institution of the public.

Including law enforcement carried out by the Prosecutor's Office also received recognition both at the international and international levels through a number of awards achieved during his leadership.

"At the beginning of my inauguration in 2019, the level of public trust in the Prosecutor's Office was at 50.6 percent," said Burhanuddin.

He continued, little by little the public's confidence index in the prosecutor's office continued to increase at every survey opportunity thanks to the hard work and smart work of Adhyaksa people.

In June 2023, he said, the Prosecutor's Office managed to make the highest achievement in the history of the Prosecutor's Office standing in a public confidence index with a value of 81.2 percent.

"For that, I invite PPPJ students of the Force 80 Wave II, let's continue to improve or at least maintain this achievement, because maintaining is certainly more difficult than achieving," said Burhanudd.
