The Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) was established under Law No. 30 of 2002 as Indonesia's dedicated anti-corruption body. The KPK has investigative, prosecutorial, and preventive authority over corruption offences. The 2019 amendment (Law 19/2019) introduced a supervisory board (Dewan Pengawas) appointed by the President that must approve wiretapping, search, and asset seizure; this reform was widely criticized as weakening the KPK's independence.
Five KPK commissioners are nominated by a selection panel and approved by the DPR for 4-year renewable terms. The KPK reports annually to the President, the DPR, and the Supreme Court.
