Prabowo Vows To Eradicate Corruption Without Favoritism, Even Targeting Close Allies

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has reiterated his firm stance on eradicating corruption without any favoritism. The President cited the case of Dadan Hindayana, former Head of the National Archives (BGN) and a former member of his campaign team, who was handed over to the Attorney General's Office (Kejagung) for corruption involvement. Furthermore, President Prabowo mentioned the confiscation of assets at Hotel Sultan. He acknowledged that the hotel is owned by his friend, Pontjo Sutowo, but stressed that the law must be strictly enforced, indicating that no one, regardless of their relationship, is above the law. These statements highlight the deep-rooted nature of corruption in Indonesia and signal that the new administration considers corruption eradication a top priority. While previous administrations have also pledged anti-corruption measures, their effectiveness has often been questioned. President Prabowo's resolute attitude raises public expectations, and his concrete future policies will be closely watched. Source: Detik
