108,869 Officials Have Not Reported LHKPN, Anti-Corruption Commitment Questioned

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — A total of 108,869 state officials have not submitted their State Officials Wealth Report (LHKPN) for the 2024 period. The anti-corruption commitment of officials in the executive, legislative, judicial branches, as well as in State-Owned Enterprises and Regional-Owned Enterprises who have yet to report their assets is now being questioned.

This was revealed in the data from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) regarding the progress of LHKPN reporting as of Thursday (6/3/2025). The report stated that the total number of state officials required to submit LHKPN amounted to 418,431 individuals. However, 108,869 of them have not yet submitted their LHKPN to the KPK. This means that only 74 percent of officials have reported their LHKPN, while the remaining 26 percent have not yet submitted their LHKPN documents.

Of the 108,869 state officials who have not reported their Asset and Wealth Reports (LHKPN), the majority come from executive institutions, totaling 81,344 out of 333,734 officials. This is followed by officials from state-owned enterprises (BUMN/BUMD), numbering 17,957 out of 45,899 individuals; legislative officials, totaling 9,104 out of 20,752 individuals; and judicial officials, numbering 464 out of 18,046 individuals.

KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo appealed to state administrators who have not submitted LHKPN to immediately report online via the page elhkpn.kpk.go.id. Because, the deadline is only until the end of this month, March 31, 2025.

"Furthermore, every LHKPN submitted will undergo administrative verification before being declared complete and published," said Budi.

The LHKPN team of the KPK, continued Budi, also actively provides technical guidance on the filling out and reporting of LHKPN in ministries/agencies, regional governments, and state-owned enterprises/regional-owned enterprises. Thus, the obligation to report LHKPN can be fulfilled on time and with complete content.

The Corruption Eradication Commission appreciates state officials who have reported their Asset and Wealth Reports. This is because they have been timely in contributing to the transparency of their respective assets.

If they are not even compliant with reporting LHKPN, how can they talk about anti-corruption aspects, let alone implementing prevention mechanisms internally.

For your information, LHKPN is one form of oversight for civil servants or state officials. Its compliance depends on the respective ministries or state institutions. However, there are still no clear regulations or sanctions if the contents of the LHKPN are deemed irregular or if state officials decide not to report their LHKPN.

According to a researcher from Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW), Tibiko Sabar, LHKPN is the minimal standard for public officials in preventing corruption. The report serves as a means of control for state administrators who commit violations.

ICW asked the KPK to firmly urge state administrators to immediately submit LHKPN, because the reporting deadline is less than a month away. Non-compliance in reporting LHKPN is one indicator of low anti-corruption commitment and official integrity.

"Because, if they are not even compliant in reporting LHKPN, how can they talk about the anti-corruption aspect, let alone implementing prevention mechanisms internally," Tibiko stressed.

In addition, when there are state administrators who do not report LHKPN, they must be subject to sanctions from the head of the relevant institution. This is regulated in Article 21 Paragraph (1) of KPK Regulation Number 3 of 2024. This regulation requires the KPK to provide recommendations for sanctions to state administrators in the form of administrative or ethical penalties.

Tibiko also urged the KPK to announce which public officials, including which institutions, had not yet reported their LHKPN.

Tourism Minister Widiyanti Putri Wardhana was widely discussed by the public as the richest minister in the Red and White Cabinet. Referring to the reported LHKPN document, Widiyanti's total assets reached Rp 5.4 trillion. That amount is more than other ministers.

In detail, Widiyanti has eight units of land and buildings, all of which are located in South Jakarta. If totaled, all of these assets are worth more than Rp152 billion. In addition, she also has seven cars totaling Rp19.46 billion.

In addition to land, buildings, and cars, Widiyanti also reported ownership of other movable assets worth Rp 43.81 billion, securities totaling Rp 5.07 trillion, and cash and cash equivalents totaling Rp 67.16 billion. She also has a number of other assets, worth Rp 77.71 billion.
