The formation of a Special Committee (Pansus) of the House of Representatives (DPR) to investigate the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has sparked controversy among the public. In response to this controversy, SMRC conducted an opinion survey to gauge public sentiment. SMRC Program Director, Sirojudin Abbas, revealed that the survey results indicate that the public has more trust in the KPK than the DPR in carrying out their constitutional mandates.
When asked whether they trust the KPK or the DPR more, the responses were quite surprising. A significant 64.4 percent, or more than half of the respondents, stated that they trust the KPK in carrying out its duties. Meanwhile, only 6.1 percent expressed trust in the DPR. The remaining 29.5 percent responded with "don't know" or did not answer.
The SMRC survey was conducted from May 14-20, 2017, involving 1,350 respondents spread across Indonesia using a multistage random sampling method. The margin of error is +/- 2.5 percent with a 95 percent confidence level.
