The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) is evaluating its\ninternal systems after uncovering an alleged extortion case involving\nthe Regent of Pemalang, Anom Widiyantoro, and a police officer seconded\nto the KPK as an administrative staff member.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe evaluation being conducted, for instance, ensures that the\ndocument process from investigators to the leadership is strictly\nmaintained. Not everyone should be able to access it,\u201d said KPK Chairman\nSetyo Budiyanto at the KPK Juang Building, Jakarta, on Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to Setyo, the evaluation is being implemented to prevent\nunauthorised parties or unrelated KPK employees from accessing documents\nrelated to ongoing corruption investigations handled by the\nanti-corruption agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf something goes wrong or if there is an irregularity, we can\nidentify it; the leadership can track where the bottleneck occurred,\nwhere the leak happened, and who performed the incorrect action,\u201d he\nstated.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, he noted that the evaluation is intended to prevent\nissues that could negatively impact the morale and mental well-being of\nother KPK employees, ensuring that such incidents do not recur and\naffect the agency\u2019s overall performance.<\/p>\n
