Once again, the Commission for the Eradication of Corruption (KPK) succeeded in conducting a busting operation in a suspected corruption case. As in earlier years, despite the holy month of Ramadan, the anti-corruption commission did not lower its guard towards the practice of bribery. The person caught in the latest busting operation was a high official of the State Audit Board (BPK), who is an auditor suspected of receiving bribery from officials in the Ministry of Village, Development of Underdeveloped Regions and Transmigration.
The House of Representatives (DPR) has officially created a Special Committee for the Right of Inquiry to the KPK. The names of the commissioners have been announced at the end of the plenary session on 30 May 2017. These include 16 members from 5 factions, including PDIP, Golkar, PPP, Nasdem, and Hanura, which are members of the governing coalition.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has charged Fahmi Darmawansyah with four years' imprisonment in a corruption case of a satellite monitoring system procurement project at the Marine Security Agency (Bakamla) on 10 May 2017.
The invocation of the right of inquiry passed by the House of Representatives in the Plenary Session on 28 April 2017 further stressed that the House does not have a strong commitment in the agenda of eradicating corruption. The inquiry initiative was triggered by the KPK's rejection to the insistence of a number of members of the House of Representatives Commission III who requested the recording of the examination of suspect Miryam S. Maryani in the e-KTP issue.
The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is starting a new chapter in the Koran procurement and budgeting corruption case. Two years after the case began to be processed, a businessman close to the Golkar party, Fahd El Fouz Arafiq, was named a suspect on Thursday, 27 April 2017.
Dalam satu bulan terakhir ini, masyarakat dipertontonkan dengan sikap ugal-ugalan anggota DPR yang melakukan perlawanan terbuka terhadap Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi yang tengah memproses kasus korupsi pengadaan KTP-el.
Bak bola salju, kasus korupsi KTP-el menendang ke segala penjuru dan mengena sejumlah anggota DPR, lengkap dari semua fraksi tanpa terkecuali.
Paling tidak ada dua sikap DPR yang memperlihatkan perlawanan terbuka terhadap KPK.
KPK’s efforts in uncovering various corruption cases often meet difficulties. This also occurred as KPK was trying to uncover the e-KTP megacorruption scandal. Currently the KPK is confronted with two forms of terror, namely political and physical terror (violence). The political terror is happening in the House of Parliament, through a process of filing a right of inquiry, while Novel Baswedan, as the head of the task force handling the e-KTP case has become a victim of terror through physical violence.
After ten years of uncertainty, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) finally named Syafruddin A. Tumenggung, the former head of the Indonesian Bank Restructuring Agency (IBRA) as a suspect in the alleged Bank Indonesia Liquidity Assistance Fund (BLBI) corruption case on Tuesday (25/4).
Corruption can occur anywhere, even in the most basic of the public service sectors, namely health. Based on the study of the Indonesia Corruption Watch (2017), between 2010 and 2015, there were at least 219 corruption cases in the health sector involving 519 perpetrators with Rp 890.1 billion of state losses and Rp 1.6 billion.
