he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), National Police and the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) will sign this week an agreement to activate electronic notification of the commencement of an investigation (e-SPDP), which enables the antigraft body to oversee the investigation of corruption cases within the two institutions.
"The law requires the National Police and the AGO to report to the KPK when investigating a corruption case. With e-SPDP, it will all be monitored online," National Police chief Gen. Tito Karnavian said at the KPK building on Monday.
KPK chairman Agus Rahardjo has said that the establishment of the e-SPDP system was aimed at creating better transparency and avoiding illicit practices among law enforcers in investigating corruption cases, in line with the antigraft body’s supervisory role.
"We will be able to, among other things, check whether the handling of a case has been deliberately prolonged or not," he said earlier last month in Jakarta. (fac/evi)
