JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Deputy Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Johanis Tanak has proposed a Bill on Asset Confiscation that includes stringent measures for public officials who fail to declare their assets in the State Officials Wealth Report (LHKPN).
“Any official found to be reporting false assets, after it is discovered that their wealth exceeds the reported limits of the LHKPN, will face asset confiscation by law enforcement agencies, in this case, the KPK,” Johanis stated in Yogyakarta, as quoted on Monday (26/10/2026).
Johanis emphasized that such strict measures are necessary to ensure that officials are compliant and honest when submitting their LHKPN.
He believes that if the Asset Confiscation Bill includes these provisions, all officials will be compelled to report their wealth accurately and comprehensively in the LHKPN.
“If this kind of regulation is included in the law on asset confiscation, then all state officials will not dare to submit inaccurate LHKPN reports. They will certainly submit the correct LHKPN,” he said.
Previously, Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI) expedited the agenda for drafting and discussing the Bill on Asset Confiscation related to Criminal Acts, moving the schedule for public hearings (RDPU) to the recess period.
Chairman of Commission III DPR RI Habiburokhman stated that the aim of this step is to meet the target for completion and ratification of the Asset Confiscation Bill by December 15, 2026, at the latest.
“The objective of advancing this schedule is to ensure that the ratification can be carried out no later than December 15, 2026,” said Habiburokhman at the DPR RI building on Monday (26/10/2026).
Habiburokhman indicated that the RDPU, which was initially scheduled for the next session or early November 2026, has now been moved to the current recess period.
Commission III will also involve various elements of society in the RDPU series to gather input related to the Asset Confiscation Bill.
“At least 20 societal elements will attend this RDPU series, consisting of student organizations, lecturers, advocates, and scholars,” Habiburokhman stated.
In addition to expediting the RDPU schedule, Commission III has agreed to appoint Habiburokhman as the Chairman of the Working Committee (Panja) for the Asset Confiscation Bill.
Habiburokhman mentioned that Commission III remains open to the public to provide written input, especially for those who cannot attend the RDPU in person.
“So, for those who are far away and unable to be here, they can provide written input to be submitted to the Secretariat of Commission III DPR RI,” he said.
