The Center for Anti-Corruption Studies (Pukat) of Gadjah Mada University assessed that the case of illegal levies at the detention center that dragged 15 employees proved the failure of the system at the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).

"This is a sign that the internal problems of the KPK are very serious, even systemic. From the level of the leaders, for example, it can be seen from Firli Bahuri that the suspect is also at the lowest level at the employee level, it is damaged. This shows even damage, this is systemic from the top level to the lower level," said UGM Pukat researcher, Zaenur Rohman, Sunday, March 17, 2024.

Dia juga menyoroti adanya tersangka pungli rutan dari institusi lain yang diperanikan di KPK. Karena itu, hal tersebut harus menjadi alarm agar pegawai KPK tidak diisi dari pihak eksternal.

"I see, although not all, employees from outside who are placed in the KPK carry diseases from outside. Then, when working at the KPK, the disease remains sustainable because the disease has become a habit for years," he added.

This is further exacerbated by the absence of a system in the KPK that can carry out strict supervision of all employees who work in the anti-corruption agency.

"Unfortunately, the KPK does not have a system to ensure that the outside disease disappears at the KPK. Instead, the KPK is infected with this disease from outside and it is shown that some of the employees are non-organic KPK employees. They are actually civil servants from ministries or institutions from outside the KPK who are placed in the KPK," explained Zaenur.

He emphasized that the various cases that befell the KPK were ironic in efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. This is because the case actually occurs in institutions that should eradicate corruption, including extortion in it.
