JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the request for additional budget of Rp1.34 trillion submitted to the DPR was aimed at boosting performance.
KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo said that so far the existing budget was only sufficient for routine operations. In fact, they need more to take efforts to prevent and take action against corruption.
"Indicative ceilings given to the KPK are only for the operation or routine needs of the KPK, such as paying for electricity, water, paying for maintenance of buildings, and other routine operational needs," Budi told reporters at the KPK's Merah Putih building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta, Monday, July 14.
"So the KPK certainly needs a budget to carry out the task of taking action, prevention, education, and coordination and supervision," he continued.
Budi said, in enforcement activities, for example, the anti-corruption commission needed a budget that was not small enough to investigate, investigate, or prosecute and execute court decisions.
"Similarly in prevention activities. Of course, the KPK in conducting studies to mitigate, see, identify vulnerable points that occur in corruption, then carry out LHKPN examination tasks, gratification reporting services and other prevention efforts will certainly require budget support," he said.
As previously reported, the KPK requested an additional budget of IDR 1.3 trillion in a meeting with Commission III of the DPR which was held at the Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, today, Thursday, July 10.
KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto said, based on a joint letter from the Minister of Finance and the Minister of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency, the Indicative Ceiling for Expenditures of the Ministry of Institutions and Special Allocation Funds for Fiscal Year 2026, the KPK received an indicative ceiling allocation of Rp878.04 billion.
"The KPK indicative ceiling for Fiscal Year 2026 has decreased by Rp359.4 billion or decreased by 29 percent compared to DIPA for the 2025 fiscal year," said Setyo in a joint meeting with Commission III of the DPR, Thursday, July 10.
Setyo continued, the indicative ceiling allocation of Rp878.04 billion was all all allocated for management support programs that included some basic needs such as salaries and allowances, as well as office operations.
"Meanwhile, the budget for the implementation of the duties and authorities of the KPK in the corruption case prevention and prosecution program has not yet received a budget allocation or Rp. 0," he said.
