Minister of Finance (Menkeu) Sri Mulyani was asked by Commission XI of the Indonesian House of Representatives to immediately follow up on indications of money laundering that occurred within the Ministry of Finance.

Not only that, the handling of the money launching case is a special requirement for the government to be able to discuss the Macro Economic Framework and the Principles of Fiscal Policy (KEM-PPKF) 2024 which is the basis for the formulation of the APBN.

This was conveyed by Deputy Chairman of Commission XI Dolfie Onthniel Frederic Palit when holding a working meeting with Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani earlier this week.

"The Minister of Finance conveyed the progress in handling the alleged Money Laundering Crime (TPPU) which is the task and function of investigators at the Ministry of Finance," said Dolfie as quoted on Tuesday, March 28.

Dolfie explained that the state treasurer was also asked to strengthen the internal control system, integrity, quick response, and take firm action against violations in order to strengthen compliance within the organization.

"Reports on the evaluation of developments and follow-up were submitted to Commission XI before/at the KEM-PPKF discussion around May," said Dolfie.

On this occasion, Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani committed to immediately handling a number of these problems and following up on the recommendations given.

"Thank you to the leadership and all members of Commission XI for a very good working meeting by providing various information and can be used as information to the public. Earlier, we will study various inputs, criticisms, and notes and become materials to improve the Ministry of Finance," he said.
