JAKARTA - The Supervisory Board of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has launched an application called OTENTIK. This application is to make it easier for the public to report alleged violations of the anti-corruption commission's human ethics.

"With this launch, it will be easier for the public to submit their reports to the supervisory board," said Tumpak Hatorangan Panggabean, chairman of the KPK Supervisory Board, in an online press conference, Thursday, June 24.

He said the existence of this application could effectively open communication between the supervisory board and the complainant.

"There will be intense communication later between us and the reporter because there is also a feature where we can communicate," he explained.

Even so, he ensures that the reporter's identity remains safe because there is an anonymous feature on this site. "We can't identify who he is," he said.

In addition, this AUTHENTIC application is also considered to speed up the process of investigating alleged violations of the code of ethics. The reason is, if reporting is done by letter or email it usually takes longer.

"With this application, it will certainly make it easier. I hope that with this launch, the supervision on the supervisory board will be more effective and efficient," said Tumpak.

Furthermore, he also advised that the management of this application can run well. Moreover, the KPK Supervisory Board only has 30 days to respond to incoming complaints in accordance with the laws and regulations.

"That's why I said earlier that each member appointed to manage this application must really be able to work well, be disciplined with time, be disciplined in receiving reports, and forward them until they will of course reach the supervisory board for follow up," he concluded
