JAKARTA: The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) stands with President Prabowo Subianto through its support of a plan to have graft convicts stripped of all of their ill-gotten assets via a law on asset forfeiture, which has seen little progress on its deliberation for over a decade.
Impoverishing corruption convicts is not only the wish of the antigraft body, spokesperson Tessa Mahardika said, but also the hope of the Indonesian public in general. “This form of impoverishment definitely needs to be regulated by law,” Tessa said on the sideline of a press briefing on Wednesday (April 9).
