Abstract

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), as in Law Number 19 of 2019, article 3 reads, “The Corruption Eradication Commission is a state institution within the executive power clump which in carrying out its duties and authorities is independent and free from the influence of any power.” However, in carrying out its functions, it does not position itself as one of the “three institutions of power” as in the trias politica theory. As a state institution born from the womb of the reform era, there are many mentions of this new type of institution, including auxiliary institutions, sampiran institutions, state auxiliary institutions, or state auxiliary organs. Some call them sampiran state institutions, state aid agencies, or state commissions. But in principle, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) places itself as an independent state institution related to judicial power but is not under the control of the judicial power. The birth of the KPK in a democratic country is a logical consequence of perfect governance by the principle of checks and balances free from extraordinary corruption crimes. The presence of the KPK in order to answer all public anxiety about corrupt practices in the Republic the KPK is believed to be the god of saving state money rather than other state institutions.
