Coordinating Minister Djamari Chaniago Asserts Prabowo's Commitment to Eradicating Corruption

Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Djamari Chaniago has affirmed that the government under President Prabowo Subianto is committed to comprehensively addressing corrupt practices. The retired military officer gave assurances that every legal violation will be processed according to the rules, without exception.

Djamari acknowledged that corruption has long been a challenge for the nation. However, he said, the government is committed to reform, enforcement and clean-up efforts. “There is no room for anyone proven to have violated the law. Regardless of institutional background or position, every violation will be processed and dealt with firmly in accordance with the prevailing legal provisions,” said Djamari in a written statement, quoted on Sunday, 12 July 2026.

In response to growing public attention to the various corruption cases uncovered recently, Djamari asked the public to view the phenomenon wisely and proportionally. In his view, the large number of cases successfully exposed does not mean that corrupt practices are on the rise; rather, it is a strong indicator of the state’s commitment to cleaning up governance.

Furthermore, Djamari also stated that the government fully supports the ongoing law enforcement process. He emphasised that every case is handled professionally, independently, transparently and in accordance with prevailing laws and regulations.

Beyond that, he also ensured that synergy between law enforcement agencies continues to be strengthened so that the anti-corruption agenda runs effectively. Djamari said the goal of the Indonesian National Police, the Attorney General’s Office and other law enforcement institutions is to uphold the law fairly, including in eradicating corruption for the interests of the nation and the state.

According to him, the duties and authorities of each law enforcement institution are already regulated by law. Therefore, synergy and coordination must continue to be strengthened so that common goals can be achieved more effectively. “What we continue to maintain is synergy and coordination between institutions. Communication must be continuously built to prevent potential misunderstandings,” he said.
