        "summary": "KPK Deputy Chairman Johanis Tanak has proposed allowing the state to seize public officials\u2019 assets that are omitted from, or exceed what is declared in, their LHKPN wealth reports. He argues that the proposed asset-forfeiture bill should include a process for officials to challenge seizures and retain its current terminology, which he says is consistent with existing anti-corruption law.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication\nCommission (KPK), Johanis Tanak, has proposed that the Bill on the\nForfeiture of Assets Related to Criminal Offences provide for the state\nto seize public officials\u2019 assets that are not listed in their LHKPN\nwealth reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf someone submits a State Officials\u2019 Wealth Report (LHKPN) and it\nturns out their actual wealth exceeds the amount declared, those assets\nshould be liable to seizure,\u201d Tanak told journalists in Jakarta on\nSunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, this should also apply to officials required to submit an LHKPN\nwho fail to do so: their assets should simply be seized by the state\nunder the Asset Forfeiture Law,\u201d he proposed.<\/p>\n<p>He also proposed establishing a mechanism for public officials to\nobject to the state\u2019s efforts to seize their assets.<\/p>\n<p>Tanak said he made the proposal to ensure that every public official\nsubmits an accurate LHKPN to the KPK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is stipulated in the Asset Forfeiture Law, public officials\nwill not dare submit false LHKPN reports. They will certainly report\ntheir wealth accurately,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He proposed retaining the bill\u2019s current name and the term\n\u2018forfeiture\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe term \u2018forfeiture\u2019 is more appropriate than using another term,\nbecause the Law on the Eradication of Corruption Crimes (the\nAnti-Corruption Law) also uses the word \u2018forfeiture\u2019 extensively,\u201d he\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>He cited Article 18 of Law No.\u00a031 of 1999 on the Eradication of\nCorruption Crimes, as amended by Law No.\u00a020 of 2001.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the word \u2018forfeiture\u2019 is neither taboo nor unusual. It is\nroutinely provided for in the Anti-Corruption Law,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
