JAKARTA - KPK interim chairman Nawawi Pomolango requested that the president-wapres for the 2024-2029 period regulate severe sanctions to dismissal for state officials/state officials who do not comply with reporting assets (LHKPN). This sanction can be regulated through the revision of Law 28/1999.

Law 28 of 1999 which is the basis for the KPK to register and examine LHKPN. However, this law does not mention strict sanctions other than administrative sanctions for non-compliance with obligations. As a result, currently, the submission is not completely ignored by around 10,000 out of 371,000 state administrators. The examination of LHKPN and corruption cases shows that LHKPN is only considered administrative and there are no sanctions for those who do not list all assets," said Nawawi at the KPK, Wednesday, January 17.

"KPK asks for a real commitment from the vice presidential candidate when he is elected to strengthen LHKPN by imposing sanctions in the form of dismissal from public office to assistant presidents or agency leaders who do not comply with the complete submission of LHKPN," continued Nawawi.

The KPK also asked for the commitment of the presidential and vice presidential candidates to make the results of the LHKPN examination a criterion for promoting public positions.

"Make the results of the LHKN examination as a criterion for promoting someone in public office. The KPK is ready to convey the results of the LHKPN examination to be followed up," said Nawawi.
