nergy and Mineral Resources Minister Sudirman Said is the only Cabinet member yet to submit his official wealth report, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has said.
'Minister Sudirman has not yet provided the KPK with his LHKPN [wealth report],' KPK spokesman Priharsa Nugraha said on Sunday as quoted by kompas.com.
Priharsa said that Sudirman should have submitted his official wealth report two months after he took office. 'But six months on, Sudirman has not yet submitted his report to the KPK,' he said.
Law No. 28/1999 on clean governance stipulates that every state official is obliged to report his or her wealth prior to taking office and after his or her term ends.
However, under the law, there are no binding legal sanctions for state officials who fail to submit their wealth reports.
'Sanctions are administrative and imposed by their superiors,' Priharsa said.
