As previously reported, Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said his agency is now more focused on working on cases that cause large amounts of state losses. They began to leave arrests that relied on wiretapping.
"We are now focusing more on handling cases where the potential loss to the state is large and where is it happening? SOEs, in government agencies with high budget. That's what we focus on there," Alexander told reporters in the Tebet area, South Jakarta, Friday, June 21.
Alexander said that the perpetrators of corruption already understand how hand arrest operations (OTT) work. So, now it is rare for officials to talk about giving or receiving money.
Even so, Alexander said the commission would still carry out silent operations. However, taking action is no longer the main priority.
"Yes, okay OTT. Yes, thank God you got it later, yes, make entertainment 'high', make people happy," he concluded.
