VIVAnews – The House of Representatives (DPR) is preparing a revision of Law No.30/2002 on Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) which is designed to restrict some authorities of the KPK.
One of issues being discussed is the tapping authority. In the revision draft, the tapping authority is specified in Article 12 letter a.
However, in 11 sections of Article 12A, tapping can only be set out after sufficient preliminary validation is confirmed by KPK leaders.
KPK leaders moreover must obtain written approval from the Head of a District Court. In urgent circumstances, tapping can be carried out before being granted the written approval.
“‘Urgent circumstances’ is when the person who will be tapped might run away, remove evidence, or is aware that he/she will be tapped.”
The ongoing tappings must be reported to KPK leaders every month. Tappings shall not exceed a period of three months as from the issuance of the District Court letter.
When tappings are completed, a report must be presented to KPK leaders within 14 working days.
