Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs Ensures Corruption Case Enforcement is Professional and Transparent: Trust Law Enforcement Officers!

Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs (Menko Polkam) General TNI (Ret.) Djamari Chaniago has emphasised that the government fully supports and oversees the ongoing law enforcement process. The government ensures that every case, including corruption cases, will be handled professionally, transparently, and in accordance with applicable regulations. Djamari reminded all law enforcement officers to prioritise professionalism, strengthen coordination, and place the nation’s interests above their respective institutional interests. “There is no need for a heated atmosphere. The National Police, the Attorney General’s Office, and all elements of law enforcement share the same goal: upholding the law and eradicating corruption. Each institution has its own authority that must be respected,” the Menko Polkam stressed on Friday, 10 July 2026. The government also asked the public to remain calm and not be easily influenced by speculation or narratives that could potentially stir unrest amidst the ongoing legal process. “The public need not worry or be provoked by various circulating opinions. Fully trust the law enforcement officers who are currently working in accordance with statutory regulations.” According to Djamari, the law enforcement process must be given space to proceed independently, professionally, and transparently without pressure or intervention from any party. He also invited the public to respond proportionally to the increased public attention on various alleged corruption cases. The large number of cases successfully uncovered, he said, does not mean that corrupt practices are becoming more widespread, but rather demonstrates the government’s increasingly strong commitment to eradicating corruption. “Corruption has indeed been a challenge for the nation. What is different now is the government’s commitment to carrying out comprehensive reforms. There is no room for anyone proven to have violated the law, regardless of their institutional origin or position.” Djamari reminded the public not to pit one law enforcement institution against another. According to him, all state apparatus are part of a law enforcement system that complements each other to realise a clean government with integrity. “The government invites all citizens to support the clean-up efforts across all state institutions. Let us oversee the legal process objectively, respect the presumption of innocence, and avoid spreading unverified information.”
