KPK: DPRD 's obedience low to reports wealth

Kotabaru, South Kalimantan 21/5 (AntaranewsKalsel) - Vice Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) Saut Situmorang called the DPRD's adherence in South Kalimantan to report the assets is low.

"One of the issues that KPK has highlighted in South Kalimantan is the low reporting of assets in the legislative sector, because only 15 percent who submitted official wealth reports (LHKPN)," Saut said in Banjarmasin last week.

Therefore, according to him, with such low compliance, more systematic and strategic effort is needed to improve LHKPN reporting compliance for DPRD members.

In addition, the Commission also highlighted the management of Natural Resources (SDA) in South Kalimantan. Based on the result of KPK 2016 study, there are 228,631 hectares of land for business use (HGU) in mining license, 89,973 hectares in permits on the utilization of timber estates (IUPHHK-HTI), 21,213 in natural forest (IUPHHK-HA) and 71,080 hektare at Dome of Peat.

Not only the land overlap, according to Saut, from the licensing side, KPK highlighted the mining business permit. Until May 2, 2017, Mining Business License (IUP) in South Kalimantan is still 351 non-clear and clean status of total 789.

"We hope that the overlapping of licenses and permits with non-clear and clean status can be resolved by the provincial government," Saut said in the presence of all regional heads and chairman of DPRDs in South Kalimantan at the coordination meeting and supervision of integrated corruption eradication in South Kalimantan.
