The Supervisory Board (Dewas) of the Corruption Eradication\nCommission (KPK) will examine an administrative staff member of the\nanti-graft agency in connection with an alleged extortion case within\nthe Pemalang Regency administration. The staff member has been\nidentified as Setya Budi Dias (DIS).<\/p>\n
The KPK Supervisory Board will conduct the examination of the\nindividual, which will also serve as material for future evaluation.\n\"Nevertheless, we will still carry out the examination for evaluation\npurposes so that this does not happen again in the future,\" said KPK\nSupervisory Board Chairman Gusrizal during a press conference on the\nBoard\u2019s First Semester 2026 Performance Report on Monday, 3 August\n2026.<\/p>\n
He stated that the board would proceed with caution in handling the\nmatter, as the individual is a civil servant seconded (PNYD) from the\nIndonesian National Police (Polri). \"Whether this falls under the code\nof ethics, the issue now is that the individual\u2019s status is a Polri\nmember, so we need to be careful regarding this report,\" he said. \"The\nquestion is whether it should be returned to the police, meaning the\nSupervisory Board does not have the authority to conduct the\nexamination.\"<\/p>\n
On the same occasion, KPK Supervisory Board member Benny Mamoto\nstated that the board had coordinated with officials within the\nanti-corruption agency regarding the examination of Dias. \"I have\ncoordinated with the Deputy for Enforcement to schedule the examination\nof this individual, DI. Because the Supervisory Board needs complete\ninformation to study and analyse where the weaknesses lie as material\nfor future improvement,\" Benny said.<\/p>\n
A KPK staff member has been named a suspect in the case that has\nensnared Pemalang Regent Anom Widiyantoro. The staff member, Setya Budi\nDias Oktavianto, works in the administration section of the KPK. He is\nsuspected of extorting the regent in relation to case management.<\/p>\n
Responding to this, KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo stated that the\narrest of one of its own personnel demonstrates the commission\u2019s\ncommitment to impartiality in uncovering a case. This effort is part of\nupholding integrity within the KPK\u2019s Red and White building,\nencompassing both institutional integrity and the individual integrity\nof every KPK member. \"We emphasise that every legal process at the KPK\nis carried out objectively, transparently, and accountably. This\nincludes cases involving members of the Commission itself,\" he said on\nThursday, 30 July 2026.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kpk-supervisory-board-to-examine-staff-member-implicated-in-pemalang-regent-extortion-case-1785750838", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
