KPK Convenes Multiple Ministries to Discuss Mining Governance Review
Jakarta, mili.id — The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) quietly assembled several ministries and institutions at KPK headquarters on Thursday (24/7/2025). The meeting was held to discuss a review of Mining Governance.
Among the ministries in attendance were the Ministry of Forestry, represented by Minister Raja Juli Antoni; the Directorate General of Minerals and Coal (Dirjen Minerba) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, represented by Tri Winarno; the Ministry of Finance, represented by Senior Adviser on Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) Agus Rofiudin; and the Ministry of Industry, represented by Senior Adviser to the Minister for Strengthening Domestic Industrial Capability, Adie Rochmanto.
Also present were the Ministry of Trade, represented by Senior Adviser for Business Climate and Inter-Institutional Relations Tommy Andana, and the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, represented by Secretary to the Minister Heldy Satrya Putera.
KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said the discussion between the KPK and the ministries concerned the mining governance review, producing findings and recommendations for follow-up action.
"Today the KPK held a discussion on the Mining Governance review. Several points have become findings and recommendations which were then conveyed to stakeholders. In today's activity, the KPK collaborated with relevant ministries and institutions," he explained at a press conference held at KPK headquarters in Jakarta.
KPK Chairman Setyo Budianto said the anti-corruption body's mining review had been under way for a considerable period. Issues examined include licensing, management, information and database systems, and overlapping permits.
"Then there are mining activities without permits, without Mining Business Licences (IUP). There is also the issue of inconsistency and disparity between central and regional governments," he explained.
"This also includes low compliance with obligations that should be fulfilled, both financially and administratively, by business operators. There are also issues related to fuel, LPG, and finally the price disparity between export and domestic markets," Setyo added.
The findings from the KPK's review were agreed to be followed up by the relevant ministries. For instance, the KPK and the Ministry of Forestry will collaborate on managing mining data in forest areas.
"With assistance from the KPK's Deputy for Prevention and Monitoring, we will synchronise data on mines that do not hold Forest Area Utilisation Permits (IPPKH) for mining in forest areas without PPKH," Minister Raja Juli explained.
Meanwhile, Dirjen Minerba Tri Winarno outlined the synergy with the KPK in terms of regulating mining permits through to the issuance of MODI and MOMI. Winarno also disclosed one form of follow-up to KPK recommendations currently being implemented by Minerba.
"The submission of Annual Work Plans and Budgets (RKAB), because RKAB has now changed from a three-year to a one-year cycle," he explained.
Ministry of Finance Senior Adviser on PNBP Agus Rofiudin highlighted the KPK's role in overseeing the cross-ministerial mining synergy platform known as SIMBARA.
"We express our gratitude and appreciation that SIMBARA is being overseen by the KPK and all relevant ministries and institutions. This has been ongoing since 2021, and we continue to strengthen this ecosystem," he said.
The Ministry of Industry also confirmed it had acted on the KPK's review findings. "For example, regarding business certainty on existing permits that have not yet been registered with colleagues at BKPM — we will promptly carry out the migration together with BKPM," said Senior Adviser Adie Rochmanto.
