JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Alexander Marwata said his agency lacked people to handle the cases he was handling. He said it took hundreds of people to make the anti-corruption commission more aggressive.

"We calculate that there are still around 400 human resources shortages for investigators and investigators. I myself said during the fit and proper test that there should be more investigators than investigators," Alex said at a press conference quoted on Wednesday, August 25.

He said that currently the KPK is indeed difficult to take action because the number of human resources is limited and many corruption cases take a long time to be processed. This, said Alex, occurs because investigators and investigators at the KPK often hold more than one case.

"We can't increase this year's 200 cases, we investigate. How many investigators," he said.

This reason then makes the KPK do more case building to investigate corruption cases. However, Alex ensures that this will not hinder the Hand Capture Operation (OTT), which has been a scourge for perpetrators of rioting because its implementation is also often assisted by other units.

"After all, since many procurements of goods and services can be carried out with open investigations and public reports. This includes our development efforts," he stressed. Moreover, by changing the status of employees to State Civil Apparatus (ASN), this can be easier because the KPK can ask for help from investigators in other agencies.

"There is also an advantage that the status of a KPK employee becomes an ASN. This means that when asking investigators who have experience in other agencies such as BPK, BPKP, Customs and Excise, there is PPNS," said Alex.

"We can ask, look at the track record. If we don't perform at the KPK, we will return it," he concluded.
