KPK Requests Additional Budget of IDR 989 Billion for 2027

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has requested an additional budget for 2027 amounting to IDR 989 billion. The KPK stated that this figure was determined based on the institution’s operational requirements. “The proposed additional budget for 2027, which emerged during discussions with House Commission III, has also undergone a meticulous calculation process and review of organisational needs,” said KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo to journalists on Friday (19/6/2026). Budi said the KPK is aware that budgetary support is a crucial part of ensuring the optimal execution of its duties and functions in eradicating corruption. He stated that the funds allocated to the KPK will be used maximally to strengthen anti-corruption efforts. Furthermore, Budi explained that in its financial governance, the KPK continues to implement an integrated and sustainable approach, from programme planning, budgeting, and activity implementation, through to accountability. He added that the budget formulation process has been carefully prepared to be well-targeted, so that the KPK’s work can be felt by the public. “All these stages are carried out inline and interconnected, accompanied by monitoring mechanisms and periodic evaluations to ensure every programme runs according to performance targets and delivers measurable benefits to society,” Budi clarified. He also conveyed that the KPK is committed to accountable state financial management. This can be seen from the KPK’s achievement of consistently maintaining an Unqualified Opinion (Wajar Tanpa Pengecualian/WTP) from the Audit Board of Indonesia. “This achievement serves as an indicator that the KPK’s financial governance is conducted in accordance with the principles of good governance, transparency, and accountability,” he stated. As is known, the request for additional budget was delivered by KPK Chairman Setyo Budiyanto during a working meeting with House Commission III at the Parliament Complex in Jakarta on Wednesday (17/6). The KPK initially requested an additional budget of IDR 762.30 billion. Members of House Commission III then supported the KPK in raising the proposed budget increase. Setyo ultimately proposed an additional budget for the KPK in 2027 of IDR 989 billion.
