JAKARTA - Article 2 Paragraph (1) and Article 3 in Law Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes (UU Tipikor) are in the spotlight of various parties. Senior Law Advisor Dr. Maqdir Ismail, SH,LL, assesses corruption is not only related to state losses.

This was stated at a national seminar related to the judicial review of article 2 paragraph 1 and Article 3 of the Anti-Corruption Law with the theme 'No Bribery, no Corruption', at the Indonesian Christian University (UKI), Central Jakarta, Tuesday, October 29.

Maqdir said the current problem is the need for an eradication of bribery and the use of positions carried out by greedy people. This is what is considered necessary to be a starting point in eradicating corruption.

"Actually, corruption is not only related to state losses, but the main thing is bribery, the use of authority and so on. This is regulated in our Law. One of the causes of chaos in the problem of corruption is the greed of people, this greedy person should be the starting point in eradicating corruption," he said.

On the same occasion, Professor of IPDN, State Financial Expert Prof. Dadang Suwanda, SE, MM assessed that not all of them should be included in the criminal realm and considered detrimental to the state.

"In the world of government there are 4 crimes, if there is a deviation, this is a deviation where all should not be drawn to a crime, if administratively withdraw it to the administrative level. Whether this is a state loss or not, but rather there is no loss to the state, there should be no loss to the state but forced," said Dadang.

Dadang assessed that in terms of administration, there are several things that need to be improved, namely the management control system. One of them is the need for separation of parties that determine state losses in a case.

"So who determines whose state losses, who determines state losses, should not all be bought up by law. Separate there, the one authorized to determine is the BPK. It must be certain who determines whose state losses, who has the authority," he said.

Furthermore, Professor of Constitutional Law Prof. Dr. John Pieris, SH, MS on the same occasion assessed that the law could be effective if it met legal clarity and norms. So that the menurtnya no one who is innocent is accused of corruption.

"The legal norm must be clear, for example, about bribery, don't make it up, it's a pity that the nation's children who are innocent or Munin are usually accused of being corruptors, it's a pity that his future is threatened," he said.

"There should be no conflicting regulations, both vertically and horizontally," he said.

He then hopes that the government with Prabowo Subianto's leadership can contribute corruption to the root.

"My message to President Prabowo Subianto gave him the opportunity to improve, eradicate corruption to the roots. I agree, our road father continues to be behind him, he is a true nationalist," he concluded.
