JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has followed up on reports submitted by the Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar after receiving goods from other parties. As a result, the object in a brown bag belongs to the state.

"It has been decided to belong to the state," said KPK Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring Pahala Nainggolan when confirmed by VOI, Friday, December 13.

Pahala has not detailed the value of the goods. This report was conveyed by Nasaruddin staff, Muhammad Ainul Yaqin on Tuesday, November 26. At that time, he brought a large brown bag to the ACLC KPK Building, Rasuna Said, South Jakarta.

From the information obtained, the item is a gift package containing a bbukhur or fragrance from Arab. The gift was given by an unknown person according to Ainul.

Previously reported, the KPK appreciated the report on receiving gratuities by the Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar. KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika said this step should be taken to prevent corruption.

"KPK appreciates the initiative to report gratification by the Minister of Religion. This is the first step to prevent a criminal act of corruption," said KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardhika, Tuesday, November 26.

The Directorate of Gratification of the KPK, continued Tessa, will certainly follow up. The process is said to take time so that people are asked to wait.

"Furthermore, the KPK will conduct an analysis of the report, whether it is a gratuity that is prohibited and belongs to the state or is a valid gratification received and belongs to the recipient," said the spokesman with the investigator's background.
