According to Gunawan, this achievement was recorded within three months of the Red and White Cabinet under President Prabowo Subianto's leadership.
“This success demonstrates the government’s firm commitment to combatting corruption and ensuring that state assets are returned for the benefit of the public,” Gunawan stated in an official statement on Thursday.
He explained that the recovery of state funds was made possible through the uncovering of several corruption cases conducted by the Coordinating Desk for Corruption Prevention and Governance Improvement established by his ministry.
Since the desk's inception, the government has succeeded in securing Rp5.37 trillion in rupiah (US$321 million), Rp920 billion (US$55 million) in foreign currency, and gold valued at Rp84 billion (US$5 million).
Gunawan explained that this total does not account for confiscations made by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and the National Police's Corruption Eradication Corps, which continue to work in synergy with other law enforcers.
His side is also improving the financial management of government agencies to prevent corrupt practices.
“We continue to improve governance to close loopholes that could allow corruption to resurface,” Gunawan emphasized.
Gunawan ensured that the corruption eradication desk would persist in safeguarding state assets to be used for the benefit of the community.
This desk comprises representatives from the Attorney General's Office along with other agencies, such as the Government’s Development Finance Comptroller (BPKP), the National Police, KPK, the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), and the Financial Services Authority (OJK).
Additionally, it includes members from the Ministry of Communication and Digital, Presidential Communications Office, Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, Ministry of Law, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Investment, Ministry of Trade, Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, and the National Public Procurement Agency (LKPP).
