University of Indonesia senior economist Faisal Basri criticized President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) inauguration speech on Sunday (20/10). He regretted that Jokowi's speech did not mention corruption eradication at all. Yet, the biggest corruption cases involve government officials.
According to data from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), civil servants (PNS) are most frequently implicated in corruption cases. From 2004-2019, the KPK successfully apprehended 199 officials at Eselon I/II/III levels.
Second most frequently implicated in corruption are members of the DPR (House of Representatives) and DPRD (Regional People's Representative Council) with 247 individuals, followed by private sector individuals with 238. The highest number of KPK cases occurred in 2017.
