The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has called on all ministers in President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo's Cabinet to submit wealth reports to the anti-graft body within the next two months.
KPK deputy head for the prevention unit, Johan Budi, said that the 1999 Clean and Good Governance Law required all state officials, including ministers, to hand over wealth reports to the KPK no later than 60 days after being sworn in.
Johan said that none of Jokowi’s 34 ministers had done so yet.
“No [current minister] has reported [their wealth] as of today. Every state official is required to submit their wealth reports soon after being sworn in,” Johan said on Sunday.
In contrast to the current Cabinet, Johan said that as of Sunday, as many as seven out of the 34 former ministers in former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s administration had submitted wealth reports to the KPK.
According to KPK data, the seven ministers are former cooperatives and small and medium enterprises minister Syarifuddin Hasan; former state-owned enterprises minister Dahlan Iskan; former administrative reforms minister Azwar Abubakar; former industry minister MS Hidayat; former research and technology minister Gusti Muhammad Hatta; former state secretary Sudi Silalahi; and former agriculture minister Suswono.
