Police Headquarters/DOK VOI

JAKARTA - The National Police denied the statement by the Deputy Chairperson of the KPK, Alexander Marwata, regarding the difficulty of coordination and supervision caused by the existence of sectoral egos of law enforcement officers.

Karo Penmas, Public Relations Division of the National Police, Brigadier General Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko, said that the Bhayangkara Corps and anti-corruption competitions had strong synergy through the signing of a memorandum of understanding.

"The National Police continues to be committed to supporting the eradication of corruption and has coordinated in law enforcement with the KPK," Trunoyudo told reporters, Tuesday, July 2.

In addition, the coordination and supervision of the National Police and the KPK refers to Commission Regulation number 7 of 2020 in the context of Eradicating Corruption.

The synergy between the National Police and the KPK is proven by the assignment of Koprs Bhayangkan members in anti-corruption institutions in eradicating corruption in Indonesia.

"It is proven by the assignment of National Police personnel within the KPK in order to support tasks within the KPK, which are the best personnel, integrity, academics, and dedication," said Trunoyudo.

Alexander Marwata said the sectoral ego of law enforcement officers was still happening. As a result, coordination and supervision are difficult to implement.

This was conveyed by Alexander during a working meeting between the KPK and Commission III of the DPR in Senayan, Jakarta, Monday, July 1. Initially, he mentioned the function of coordination and supervision between law enforcement officers in handling corruption cases.

"Indeed, in the old and new KPK Law, there is a coordination and supervision function. Is it going well? I have to say that it didn't go well," Alexander said as quoted from YouTube DPR RI.

"The sectoral ego is still there, it's still there. If we arrest the prosecutor or handle the prosecutor, for example, suddenly from the prosecutor's office closing the door of coordination and supervision. It's difficult. Also with the police like that," he continued.
