KPK: There Is A Chairman Of The DPRD And The Chairman Of The Faction Agreed To The Budget After What Partity

JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) said the practice of hammer money still often occurs. There are a number of areas that approve budgeting after the legislators get a percentage of the amount proposed.

"The fact that happened today, there was a chairman and his faction leaders who agreed to the APBD after there was money for a hammer or bribe after a deal had a share of the APBD. That was only the planning and budgeting stage," said KPK Chairman Firli Bahuri in a written statement, Friday, September 16.

This condition makes the KPK remind anyone not to cheat. The regional head, continued Firli, do not try to give or accept bribes.

Anyone who knows of allegations of corruption is asked to report. Moreover, the KPK has currently handled 1,444 corruption cases from 2004 to August 2022.

"The regional head has 161 cases, the DPRD/DPR has 313 cases. Soon to add this, because in September 2022 there have been six cases," said Firli.

He reminded that eradicating corruption is not only the task and responsibility of the KPK. All parties, including state administrators, have the same obligation.

"We need the role of all fathers and mothers. Eradication of corruption is not only the task of the KPK but must involve all elements of society, all children of the nation," he concluded.
