| dc.description.abstract | The existence of corruption removal commission is an attempt done by the
government to remove the corruption criminal act which is increasingly developing in
Indonesia. KPK is an independent institution given a special authority to overcome
the problem of corruption criminal act. This commission was established when the
society need to have the corruption strictly overcome, without delay, transparent, and
with a public accountability that can be accounted to all strata of society. The
Purpose of this analytical descriptive normative legal study is to find out the authority
owned by the KPK in removing the corruption criminal act and to analyze the
tempts that can be done by the KPK in the prevention of corruption criminal act.
The data for this study were the existing legal norms related to the authority
of KPK in removing corruption criminal act and preventing the incident of corruption
obtained from library research which were then analyzed and systemized
The result of this study shows that, first, there are several formulations of
articles such as Articles 9, 40, 42, 43, 50, 51 and 71 of Law No.30/2002 revealing the
extraordinary authority of KPK which surpasses the authority owned by the other law
enforcement agencies even go beyond the authority of public prosecutor in
investigating and charging the corruption criminal act, that if KPK's authority is not
given a clear description, a conflict of authority will occur between KPK and the
other law enforcement agencies. Second, the attempt done by KPK in removing
corruption is preventive and repressive in nature. This preventive attempt done by
KPK is stated in Article 6 (d) of Law No.30/2002 and details of prevention is
regulated in Article 13 of Law No.30/2002. The repressive attempt stated is to frame
the leading corruption and when proven he or she will be seriously prosecuted by
KPK under the existing corruption-related regulation of legislation. For this reason,
it is suggested that, first, KPK should more improve its quality in removing
corruption, considering the authority given by the law to KPK as an independent
institution which specially handles the problems of corruption in order to make the
society can believe more in KPK performance in settling the cases of corruption.
Second, control and self innocence of corruption bee men the main priority for the
KPK in electing the members of commission before they handle the problem about an
individual or an institution assumed to have been involved in the case of corruption. | en_US |
