The Corruption Eradication Commission has issued a circular ordering every state official to publicize their wealth report at their respective institutions announcement board.

KPK spokesman Johan Budi said Wednesday the anti-graft body sent the circular to state offices in the country.

"We expect them (the officials) to put the reports on their office's announcement board so the public will have access to know," he said as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com.

Earlier this month, the House of Representatives barred KPK from publishing state officials' wealth report, saying that such authority was under the state-owned printing Company PNRI.

Prior to the House ban, KPK asked state officials to submit wealth report and to announce the report to the media at the KPK headquarters. (dre)
