KPK Release the Results of Study on State Treasury Offices

Jakarta, 01 December 2008 - In an effort to prevent corruption and to raise the quality of service at state treasury offices, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has conducted a study of the management systems in State Treasury Offices. This study was conducted from 1 February until 16 May 2008 and has been submitted by the Vice Chairman of KPK, Mochammad Jasin to the Director General of the Treasury, Department of Finance, Herry Purnomo on 27 November 2008 at KPK's Office, Jl H.R. Rasuna Said Kav. C-1 Jakarta Selatan. Today KPK will publicly announce the results of this study.

KPK conducted an analysis of 33 State Treasury Offices in the regions of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, West Java, Greater Jakarta and East Java. Based on these analyses, a number of potential corruption causing weaknesses were found to exist. These increase the potential for the misuse of authority and the loss of state funds through extortion, bribery, and the giving of gratuities. Systematic weaknesses included principles of program implementation, structural organization, and management of human resources.

In order to raise the level of effectiveness and efficiency of services at the State Treasury Offices, KPK recommended a number of reforms be made. The basis of these reforms is a system based on law enforcement and a strong leadership commitment.

With these recommendations, KPK hopes integrity levels of State Treasury Offices' staff will increase along with public perceptions and the perceptions of partner organizations.

As follow up to this study, the State Treasury Offices must compile an action plan to implement the recommendations of KPK. This action plan will be used by KPK as a basis to monitor the implementation of management reforms.

Conducting monitoring of state and government organizations is one of the KPK's duties as defined by Law 30/2002.

Jayapura, Thursday (12 February 2009) – To fulfill the mandate of the Constitution 1945 Article 23 G and Law Nr. 15/ 2006 on the Audit Board, the Vice Chairman of BPK RI, Abdullah Zainie, inaugurated the BPK RI Building of Representative of Papua Province today (12/2) in Jayapura. The construction of this building is one of the realizations of Reformation of Bureaucracy which has been planned by BPK RI in 2007. Previously, since 2005 the operational activity of BPK RI Representative of Papua Province was still conducted by borrowing the Autonomy Official Building which belongs to the Government of Papua Province for conducting its operational activity.

According to Zainie, the BPK Reformation of Bureaucracy has very wide scopes which consist of the institutional, human resource, business process, facility and infrastructure, and also cooperation with the stakeholder. The forth mentioned points become the major sticks of Reformation of Bureaucracy and also the strong foundation for BPK RI to enhance its role in promoting the good, clean, transparent and accountable governance. One of the important factors to run the organization is the sufficient budged. The budged received by BPK from DPR and Government is more increasing. In 2004, BPK RI has budged IDR 329 billion and in 2009, increases to IDR 1’725 trillion.

Reformation of Bureaucracy in BPK is also realized in the addition of representative offices from 6 offices in 2004 becomes 33 representative offices in 2008. This includes the provision of supporting facilities such as the office buildings, employee housings, etc. “Without the support of the proper facility and infrastructure, the capable human resource can not optimally work and can not achieve the targeted achievement,” states Zainie.

The BPK RI Representative Building of Papua Province which is inaugurated is located in Jl. Balai Kota No. 2 Entrop Jayapura. The contractor of the two floors building of which land width 10’370 m2 and building width 2’854 is PT Adhi Karya (Persero).
