Deputy Chairman of Commission III DPR, Ahmad Sahroni, expressed his support for the initiative to revise Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes. Steps to improve this regulation are considered important in order to strengthen the state's efforts to eradicate criminal acts of corruption.
The NasDem Party politician reminded that the process of drafting regulations involves academics, practitioners and various other interested parties. Changes to the definition of corruption that are highlighted by the public must also be formulated carefully so as not to give rise to legal uncertainty.
Apart from that, Sahroni also supports the proposal to include the practice of manipulating trade documents or under-invoicing in the new regulations. This fraudulent practice of posting transaction values lower than the original has become a serious concern for the president.
The Coordinating Minister for Law, Human Rights and Imipas, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, previously pushed for regulatory updates in line with discussions on the draft asset confiscation law. Alignment with the United Nations convention against corruption is also an important basis in this revision discourse.
