Analysis of shifts in the independence of the corruption eradication commission (KPK) after the revision of the law

Abstract

This article discusses the shift in the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) position after the birth of Law No. 19 of 2019 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission. Normative using legal research, this article is expected to find out how the position of the anti-corruption agency owned by Indonesia, namely the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), after the revision of Law No. 30 of 2002 concerning the Commission on Combating Corruption. Based on this research, it was obtained that various institutions have been formed to deal with corruption problems in the history of corruption crimes that occurred in Indonesia. Until the Reformation period was formed, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) carried out its authority. The KPK was independent. However, the status of the KPK as an independent institution in carrying out all its duties turned into a state institution in the executive branch. The shift in the position of the KPK from independent institutions to institutions in the executive branch occurs because the government is still compartmentalizing state institutions in the Triassic paradigm of Politica, which is no longer relevant for its implementation in the current constitutional system.
