The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has raised its proposed\nadditional budget for 2027 to IDR 989 billion, up from an initial\nrequest of IDR 762.30 billion. KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto stated that\nthe commission had received an indicative ceiling of IDR 1.23 trillion\nfor 2027. He initially proposed an additional IDR 762 billion,\nreferencing President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s statement during a free\nnutritious meal programme consolidation event in Sentul on 3 June, where\nthe President said \u2018whatever is needed will be given.\u2019<\/p>\n
During a working meeting at the DPR complex on Wednesday (17\/6\/2026),\nHouse of Representatives Commission III Deputy Chairman Ahmad Sahroni\nurged the KPK to request a larger sum, suggesting IDR 5 trillion. \u2018Since\nthe President has already spoken, if you put it in your presentation,\nyou can ask for anything. Ask for IDR 5 trillion! If the President\ndoesn\u2019t give it, we\u2019ll just play the video again later. So that the\nPresident gives KPK a budget equivalent to the Attorney General\u2019s\nOffice. Do we all agree?\u2019 Sahroni said.<\/p>\n
Commission III member Hasbiallah Ilyas also supported increasing the\nKPK\u2019s budget, particularly highlighting the need for more funding in\neducation and prevention. He noted that the current education budget of\nonly IDR 73.66 billion was insufficient to eliminate or prevent\ncorruption. Fellow Commission III member Martin Tumbelaka from the\nGerindra Party also pledged full support for the budget increase to\nmaximise enforcement efforts in the field.<\/p>\n
KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto explained that the commission aspires to\nestablish regional representative offices to enhance prevention efforts,\nnoting that unlike the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) which has\nprovincial and municipal offices, the KPK operates solely from the\ncentral level with around 1,900 employees. He said regional offices\nwould allow for more efficient coordination, supervision, and prevention\nwork, particularly in central and eastern Indonesia, enabling faster and\nmore streamlined bureaucratic access.<\/p>\n
Following the strong support from Commission III members, Setyo\nconsulted with the KPK Secretary General and Finance Bureau and revised\nthe proposed additional budget upward from IDR 762 billion to IDR 999\nbillion. He then adjusted the final figure to IDR 989 billion, which was\naccepted by Deputy Chairman Sahroni, who remarked that it was the first\ntime the commission had been so enthusiastic about the KPK requesting a\nlarger budget.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kpk-raises-proposed-additional-budget-for-2027-to-idr-989-billion-1781711495", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
