Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan (Antara Bali) - Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Chairman Abraham Samad here on Monday inaugurated a training program on handling corruption crimes.
"This training is aimed at enhancing the capacity of law enforcers in handling corruption crimes in various regions," Abraham remarked.
He noted that the training was attended by numerous officials from the KPK, Supreme Audit Board (BPK), Presidential Working Unit for Supervision and Management of Development (UKP4), Financial and Development Supervisory Board (BPKP), Attorney General Office, and the National Police.
The KPK chief highlighted the need to ensure uniformity in understanding and handling of all corruption crimes across the nation in order to more effectively protect the national assets.
"We would like to ensure uniformity in the understanding of ways to handle corruption crimes, and through this training, we want to unify our perception and views to handle such cases in a more efficient manner," Abraham clarified.
Deputy Attorney General Andhi Nirwanto positively welcomed and appreciated the training being held to increase cooperation among law enforcers to fight against corruption crimes, which can occur in any region.
"Efforts to fight against corruption crimes are still far below expectations, and therefore we, the law enforcers, want to build strong cooperation in order to do so," Andhi remarked.
In his annual state-of-the-nation address on August 15, 2014, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono emphasized that corruption was an extraordinary crime that had to be completely uprooted.
"Corruption is an extraordinary crime and our common enemy, and I say, I do not compromise with this kind of crime," the president affirmed at the time.
Yudhoyono reiterated that he did not compromise with such a crime, and encouraged and permitted the KPK to execute its task of combating malpractices.
He noted that during the 2004-2012 period, he had signed several agreement letters for permitting the interrogation of 176 state officials for their alleged involvement in corruption cases.
"And from 2004 to 2014, some 277 regional executive and legislative officials had to deal with the KPK," he stated.
"Therefore, I highly appreciate the KPK, which has enforced the law in terms of fighting corruption," he added. (WDY)
