in handling corruption cases and is a "super body".
A clean government is a government that is free from the practice of Collusion, Corruption
and Nopotism (KKN). Thus, the implementation of clean law and government must be supported
by the participation of the community and / or community institutions through the function of
control over the implementation of public government and development tasks in an effort to
realize good governance.(Firmansyah Arifin d, 2005)
The Corruption Eradication Commission (CEC) is a state institution that in carrying out its
duties and authorities is independent and free from the influence of any power (Article 3 of Law
Number 30 of 2002). The purpose of the establishment of the CEC is none other than to increase
the efficiency and results of efforts to eradicate criminal acts of corruption.(Chaerudin, 2009)
The CEC was formed because the institutions of the Police, Prosecutor's Office, Judiciary,
Political Parties and Parliament that were supposed to prevent corruption did not run even
dissolved and were lulled into corruption. The eradication of corruption that has occurred until
now has not been implemented optimally. Therefore, the eradication of corruption needs to be
improved professionally, intensively, and continuously.(Jimly Asshiddiqie, 2003)
Because corruption has affected the nation's economy, public finances, and national progress.
So bad, corruption in Indonesia is considered an extreme crime. The way corruption is handled
must be exceptional. Because of its enormous power, the CEC—which in the legal community is
referred to as a superbody—was formed as a result. The CEC faced a number of traditional
challenges in its first year acting as the front line in the fight against corruption, including delays
in disbursing government funds. This has invited indirect criticism from various parties. The
chairman of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (YLBHI) who agreed with Munarman claimed,
"The CEC only makes excuses when it is demanded by the performance of the CEC leadership."
In addition, he stated that the government, especially the one in charge, lacks the political will to
successfully eradicate corruption.
The explanation of the role and responsibilities of the Corruption Eradication Commission in
the Law is referred to as a trigger mechanism, which means encouraging or acting as an impetus
so that efforts to eradicate corruption by pre-existing institutions become more effective and
efficient. The Corruption Eradication Commission was not established to take over the
responsibilities and powers previously held by the prosecutor's office and the police. This
institution was established as part of the anti-corruption agenda which is one of the important
agendas for changing Indonesian governance. Thus, the functions and authorities of supporting
institutions in the constitutional system adopted in the Indonesian state will be reviewed from
Law Number 19 of 2019 the second amendment to Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning the
Corruption Eradication Commission.(Undang-Undang Nomor 30 Tahun 2002 Tentang Komisi
Pemberantasan Korupsi, n.d.)
The Corruption Eradication Commission is mandated to carry out the eradication of
corruption in an optimal, intensive, effective, professional, and sustainable manner to realize a
just, prosperous and prosperous society based on Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution. The
Corruption Eradication Commission has the task of coordinating with institutions authorized to
eradicate criminal acts of corruption, supervision of institutions authorized to eradicate criminal
acts of corruption. Investigation, investigation and prosecution as well as taking measures to
prevent criminal acts of corruption and monitoring the implementation of state
government.(Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 30 Tahun 2002, Tentang Komisi Pemberantasan
Tindak Pidana Korupsi, pasal, 5., n.d.)
With its various main duties and functions, the Corruption Eradication Commission during
its journey has invested its gold ink in saving state finances, both preventively and repressively.
At least the level of public satisfaction with the Corruption Eradication Commission is quite
satisfactory, and many perpetrators of corruption crimes have been tried and convicted and
