JAKARTA - The Supreme Court (MA) stated that although it was painful, the hand-catching operation carried out by the KPK against judges and the Depok District Court (PN) apparatus helped the institution in its efforts to clean up judicial corruption.
The statement was made by the spokesperson for the Supreme Court, Yanto, in response to the designation of suspects against the chairman, vice chairman, to the seizure officer of the Depok PN in the alleged corruption in handling land dispute cases.
"The Supreme Court also thanks the KPK, although it is painful, this event helps accelerate the Supreme Court to clean up judges in the Supreme Court environment who still want to make dirty transactions," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, February 9.
The Constitutional Court acknowledges that eradicating judicial corruption is not easy. Various policies have been launched to close the corruption hole in the Constitutional Court and the judicial bodies under it.
He detailed that the policy included the implementation of Smart Majelis, the formation of a special task force, tightening the promotion system for leaders, and intensive supervision from supervisory agencies and the leadership of the high court.
In addition, in order to avoid interactions between justice seekers and judges and court officials, the Constitutional Court has made a policy of One-Stop Service at every court.
"Although many prevention efforts have been carried out, there are still judges and court officials who are tempted and do not take care of themselves or the Constitutional Court institution," he said.
