The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is still screening candidates for its leadership and supervisory board for the 2024-2029 period.
Of the 318 applicants for leadership positions, 236 passed the administrative selection and will proceed to the next stage. Meanwhile, 146 out of 207 applicants for supervisory board positions passed the administrative selection.
Beyond the selection process, the public has certain expectations for the new KPK leadership.
A Kompas Research and Development (Litbang Kompas) survey shows that a majority, or 43.7%, of respondents want a KPK leader who is honest and has a clean track record in the legal field.
“The chosen KPK leader must be free from any dark history involving corruption or other legal entanglements,” wrote a Litbang Kompas researcher in their report on Monday, July 29, 2024.
Other criteria desired by the public include courage and decisiveness (18.5%), trustworthiness (12.8%), integrity and competence/professionalism (9.3%).
Respondents also desired a KPK leader who is independent and not easily influenced (7.1%), upholds ethics and morals (5.2%), and possesses a national perspective (3%).
“The KPK was established as a trusted law enforcement agency, therefore, its leaders must uphold high moral standards.”
This poll involved 530 respondents across 38 Indonesian provinces, selected randomly and proportionally.
The survey was conducted from July 22-24, 2024, through telephone interviews. The margin of error is approximately 4.32% with a 95% confidence level, under conditions of simple random sampling.
